Teich, Ryann, NaturevsFuture & Restore at the Samples for Ecompassion Sale

I has so much fun attending the Samples for Ecompassion sale last night. Not only did I do a bit of Spring shopping, but I took a chance to interview several ecofashion designers about the clothes they brought for sale and the materials they use to design.

The sale runs through April 5th (noon to 7pm each day) and is located at 2 Great Jones Street (between Broadway and Lafayette) in Manhattan.

Raina Bleyer from Ryann talks about her line. One of my purchases was that awesome Ahimsa vest Raina holds up. Ideal for this Spring.

Restore clothing’s Celeste Lillore. I want one of those drapy tank tops. Seriously awesome.

Nina Valenti of NaturevsFuture; I’m so happy I now own a few pieces of her amazing line!
