Thursday, April 12, 2012

We are proud to announce that emiLime products are now also available on Flechada.com! With the theme of Flechada's blog being "a fashion blog with some latin attitude thrown in for good measure" we knew we had to get in on this. You can search by designer or by category, but don't forget to check out their blog and press page, as they were named the Best of the Web Winner by InStyle Magazine in 2011. 

Happy shopping!

Conscionista Series: Ecouterre

Wednesday, March 21, 2012

Ecouterre's mission - " Change people’s minds about what “fashion” design entails beyond fleeting fads and mindless consumerism. Like any good product design, clothing production can be accomplished in a better, smarter, and more socially and environmentally sustainable way. And we’re not the only ones who think so. Organic clothing, produced without toxic pesticides and dipped in low-impact dyes, is gaining popularity across the globe."

Ecouterre dedicates themselves to the future of sustainable fashion. Started in 2009 by Jill Fehrenbacher, founder of Inhabitat.com, Ecouterre gained traction when it began to take a more serious approach to sustainable fashion. Her goal is for consumers to realize the gravity of unethically produced clothing, and begin to change the way they see sustainable fashion.

A main theme throughout the blog is the fight against stereotypes of eco-friendly enthusiasts. The ragged poncho-wearing hippie stereotype of sustainable fashion is uprooted and replaced with a sophisticated, educated, intelligent and compassionate one. Having been credited in Vogue, Businessweek, New York Times, and People, Jill takes eco-fashion very seriously and finds it upsetting that people would consider fashion to be a trivial matter. 

What we love most about the blog is the variety of content - it is divided into seven sub-blogs: Women, Men, Shoes, Accessories, Beauty, Textiles, Tech, Designers, Re-Use, DIY and Vegan Style. There are multiple writers who are passionate about sustainable fashion that write for Ecouterre, giving it a very genuine quality, as well as an overwhelming amount of information available to its readers.

Take a look and let us know what you think about our friends over at Ecouterre!
