6 Eco-Friendly Pieces to Look and Feel Good This Season

elle eichinger | March 24, 2014 | Style & Beauty The Latest

Share

Whether it’s using (or reusing) sustainable materials, keeping production local, or donating proceeds to a good cause, these six brands make us feel good about fashion.

5 - 6 Eco-Friendly Pieces to Look and Feel Goo…

Over the Horizon dress, Christina Karin ($209). 312-550-5335; christinakarin.com

Local designer Christina Karin’s pieces are produced through sustainable means and make an impact both sartorially and philanthropically. A portion of sales is put toward V-Day, an organization that aims to end violence against women and children in third world countries.


4 - 6 Eco-Friendly Pieces to Look and Feel Goo…

Yves Vlazer, Samantha Sleeper ($585). samantha-sleeper.com

Chicago native Samantha Sleeper keeps her designs earth-conscious: this vlazer (vest/blazer, a Sleeper signature) got its bold cobalt color by being dyed in-house.


Rocky Eco Fleece hoodie by Alternative Apparel.

Rocky Eco-Fleece hoodie, Alternative Apparel ($54). Trunk Club, 325 W. Ohio St., 312-801-7200

One of Trunk Club’s top-selling items—it’s irresistibly soft—this hoodie uses Alternative Apparel’s signature Eco-Fleece, a fabric made from both organic and recycled threads.


3 - 6 Eco-Friendly Pieces to Look and Feel Goo…

Leather and agate necklace, Love Heals ($329). Green Goddess Boutique, 1009 W. Armitage Ave., 773-281-5600

Everything at Green Goddess Boutique is eco-friendly and fashion-forward, but we especially love the jewelry by Love Heals, which is crafted with consciously mined metals. The brand also plants ten trees for each design sold.


2 - 6 Eco-Friendly Pieces to Look and Feel Goo…

SR signature sweatshirt, Stix and Roses ($148). Sararose (by appointment only), 773-654-3421

Chicago designer and boutique owner Sararose Krenger has expanded her Bamboo Little Black Dress collection—which is made from eco-friendly double-lined bamboo Lycra jersey—into an entire bamboo wardrobe. This cozy logo sweatshirt is perfect for kicking back.


1 - 6 Eco-Friendly Pieces to Look and Feel Goo…

Sandra Bloom sleeveless dress, Groceries Apparel ($98). Sofia, 100 E. Walton St., 312-640-0878

From recycled zippers to flax linen, Groceries Apparel is eco-friendly in everything it produces. This spring, the brand comes to Chicago mainstay Sofia.
