Fashion Conscience

We were very chuffed to see out exclsuive FAIR+true fair trade check pencil skirt featured on Elle.com, alongsode other great pencil skirts this season.

We love this one teamed with a slouchy knit such as Jackpot Alema, belt and Chinese Laundry vegan leopard wedge shoes, and a Melie Bianco vegan slouchy Vivian bag.

What a quick service.   My coat arrived on Saturday but I missed the postman. However, I  collected it today at the Sorting Office.

I am absolutely delilghted with my Jackpot Trench coat.  The medium size would have been too small.  It takes the large size.  I have a striped  Jackpot jumper which I bought many years ago.  It is still  like new and has a collar on it similar material to the coat.

Very many thanks for all your help.

Kind regards

Dorothy

We visited Estethica – platform for ethical and sustainable design at London Fashion Week this weekend, and were delighted to see the great turnout. It is promising that more people are discovering the emerging talents in ethical fashion design.

Esthetica London Fashion Week 2011 SS12

We especially liked edgy Henrietta Ludgate, young and fresh Goodone and Aiste Nesterovaite. The latter does redesigned accessories, and we love brands who contribute to a reduction of clothing at the landfills. Check out the funky scarves below.

The Soil Association Certification, the certification body for organic clothing, was also represented. We stock jeans from Monkee Genes - one brand that has obtained the acknowledged certification.

All in all, we enjoyed the exhibition this year, but did miss some cool prints – we saw some amazing ones in the other designers’ section. We’d love to see some innovative ethically and sustainably manufactured prints as well.

Our cool ethnic inspired Melie Bianco vegan bags feature in Grazia this week, thanks ladies!

We think these are the perfect bags for a new season look.

Our super soft and gorgeously slouchy Play MbyM Go Green top was featured in Metro Fashion today on a feature on dirty gold colours.

This sustainable top that you can buy here; is great for layering with the brands other styles including slouchy vest tops, pocket tees, and more body-skimming vest tops and dresses. See the whole sustainable fashion collection here

We are almost bursting with excitement at the new season Cri de Coeur collection. The designer fashion accessories collection is 100% vegan but looks 100% catwalk.

Featuring studs on stack heeled ankle boots and T-bar strap shoes and suede-look Chelsea style boots and knee high boots, this is the shoe collection (never mind vegan shoes collection) to watch for the new season. It doesn’t drop until September but we are so excited by the styles we had to share now.

The Chelsea boots will look great with skinny denim jeans and a small collar silk shirt for mann-ish style, while the stud ankle boots can be converted into knee high boots for incredible versatility and style, and the grey knee high boots feel very Vanessa Bruno and will look amazing with everything. The three styles are just a taster, with more boots in the collection.

We will update you again when the collection is with us and available to buy.
