Organic Cotton Cassie Dress
Organic cotton tank
I have two much-beloved items from Mon Petit Oiseau; my only white dress (with adorable silver threading) and a short cardi, both of which have gorgeous, subtle detailing, which is what the line is known for.
Neither of my pieces is ecofriendly, but now it seems the LA-based company is heading in that direction, with a few pieces now available at Coco’s Shoppe. Yay!
Eco Chick readers can enjoy 20% off using the code LUXE08 (through Sunday, April 6 only) from any non-sale items at Coco’s Shoppe. They are also having a 70% off sale to clear their Fall and Winter merchandise. I ordered this gorgeous Talla dress and an organic merino wool vest by Kelly B, proving there’s lots of Spring-friendly items in their sale section.
Always glad to hear of new stores riding the green wave (yes, it keeps them in the news and is good for their bottom line, but whatever works to get things changed).
One thing is bugging me though. It seems all these trendy stores with their nifty clothes are sticking pretty dang close to their boutique customers, IE waifs with more money then chest. I wish I could find just one outfitter that realized that folks come in more then a few shapes and sizes. I’m not fat, but at 6′1 in my barefeet and a chest that makes me look into job opportunities escorting fallen heros to Valhalla… I’m getting frustrated that if I want earth-friendly options, I’m going to have to source the fabric and sew it myself.
Oh well. Keep up the great site.
