Eco Friendly Fashion

Annie & Jade

My mom wrapped four baby bums in cloth diapers and took large totes to the grocery to avoid their plastic bags. At 26 years old in 1982, Gwendolyn Valiente was beyond her time as a young mother of four in a decade of wasteful decadence. She taught us to protect the earth and care for the people on it. Earth day always reminds me of my childhood and the "caring" lifestyle I was taught and strive to mimic today. To celebrate, here are some fashions that keep the earth and humanity  in mind…

annie & jade is a modern eco-luxury brand of women's clothing that uses earth-friendly Siro-Micro Modal (knitwear), 100% pure silk and a new 100% natural wool with woven elements to create color and tone without the use of dye. They also contribute to the Carbonfund.org for any part of their line that cannot be made in an eco-friendly way.
