Eco Fashion for the Harley Set
I’m loving that Chopper Couture has cooked up these very LA/Las Vegas tees, longsleeves and sweatpant sets made of bamboo, lyocell, and dyed using PVC and pthalate-free inks. I don’t know if I’m into the matching tops and bottoms, but it’s great to see different styles of clothing being made…
