FashionandEarth.com Launches Green Clothing Shopping Site Featuring Organic, Eco-Friendly Fashion

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 15:13:23 GMT

As green clothing retailer Fashion & Earth gears up its inventory of organic clothing for its September opening, shoppers can sign up to receive notifications and an early bird discount at FashionandEarth.com.

The company is determined to make eco-friendly fashions accessible to everyone who has ever wanted to buy organic clothing but hasn’t been able to find suitable options. Set to open for clothing sales in September this year, FashionandEarth.com will be a one-stop-shop bringing together a variety of popular brands under one roof selling eco-friendly fashions and green clothing at affordable prices. “Finding green clothing that’s stylish, affordable and lasts well can be a challenge,” says Adrian Desbarats, president of Fashion & Earth. “Even though many people want to make clothing choices that are healthier for themselves and also better for the planet, they don’t always know where to turn.

The brands are subject to a stringent evaluation process to ensure alignment with Fashion & Earth’s requirements for organic fabrics, environmentally friendly manufacturing processes and fair trade practices, in addition to undergoing what Desbarats calls the “everyday person” test. “We aim to carry green clothing items that the everyday person loves to wear and can afford to buy...Click to read more
