Stylish Eco-Friendly Clothing Options

C.A. Jacobs
When many people think of eco-friendly clothing, they certainly do not think it is fashionable. Why can't it be? There are several companies that strive to help our environment by creating eco-friendly fashions, while still maintaining a modern sense of style. Here are a few companies that may be just what you are looking for as fall fashion quickly approaches.

Stylish Eco-Friendly Clothing Brand #1: Mar Y Sol

Mar Y Sol, formerly called Mad Imports, is an environmentally responsible company out of Madagascar and Kenya that creates wonderful hand woven handbags. A sale from this company not only conserves the world around us, but also supports several families seeking economic independence. Mar Y Sol incorporates global fashion into colorful accessories for all ages. The company started as a way to provide poverty stricken families the opportunity to have a better life but has grown into a sustainable way to bring fashion to the world. Mar Y Sol has broken into pop culture by making appearances in Lucky Magazine, O Magazine, Glamour Magazine, and Marie Claire Magazine, to name a few.

Stylish Eco-Friendly Clothing Brand #2: Lauren Pierce

Lauren Pierce is a brand dedicated to connecting the world through eco-friendly fashion and respect for our planet. The designs are simple, elegant, and timeless that take pieces of the world as inspiration for a universal appeal. All the fabrics are eco-friendly and handmade creating a unique look. The designer, Lauren Bush, supports the economy in deserving nations and families by buying fabrics from several locations on the globe. Not only are these pieces of fashion eco-friendly, but they incorporate incredibly modern tie-dye work to create a modern look for the modern woman.

Stylish Eco-Friendly Clothing Brand #3: TOMS Shoes

TOMS is a brand of shoes that have a greater purpose than simply being eco-friendly. For every pair of shoes purchased, TOMS will provide a pair of shoes to a child in need of foot protection, also known as the One for One Mission. In countries around the world, children grow up walking barefoot leaving their feet susceptible to soil diseases, cuts and sores, as well as leaving them incapable of attending many schools. These shoes may be a little expensive. However, the cause of this sole is much greater. TOMS offers a wide variety of colors, designs, and styles to choose from, which makes this purchase a very fashionable option. Their shoes are also offered in children, men, and women's sizes to accommodate for everyone in your family.

    I've heard of TOMS, but not the other two. May have to check that out. Thanks for sharing.

    Curious about how Toms feel to wear, but a bit expensive for me right now. I never heard of the other two.
