Steven asks…

Do you know of any eco-friendly clothing companies?

I was just wondering if there were and ecofriendly clothing companies out there? I would love to support them. Even any ecofriendly shoe or cosmetic company.

The Expert answers:

The best would be Goodwill, because it reduces the amount of energy needed to make new clothes.

Shoes? Top companies are Blackspot (made out of a hemp and a recycled shoe tire, but expensive) and Patagonia (made by a company that does everything from preserving wildlife to supporting organic clothing, but uber-expensive.) Also Rawganique sells some Ecolution brand shoes, which are pretty good (hemp, which grows well without pesticides and blah blah blah), but I don’t know about the rest.

Cosmetics: Aveda, Burt’s Bees, Aubrey Organics, Kiss My Face, Zia, and the Body Shop are all leaders in this catagory. I’ve heard good things about Burt’s Bees, Aubrey Organics, but Aveda and the Body Shop are some of the most positive companies.

Clothing: Patagonia is again high on the list, along with American Aparell (which is a more controversial company because they’ve been accused of selling sexual ads of minors and of sexual harassment.) Maggies Organics, and No Sweat also have some eco-options.

In terms of mainstream clothing, the best companies are Levi Strauss (organic cotton jeans!) and Timberland (they just launched eco-boots and “adventure wear”).

I’m not sure about all these companies, so please check the clothing to see if it has key environmental adjectives like “organic,” “hemp,” “vegan,” or whatever other causes please you. Feel free to ask me any follow-up questions.

P.S: Fur is not environmentally friendly AT ALL.

James asks…

I Need a Name for an Eco-Friendly Clothing Line?

I’m starting an ecofriendly clothing line, that will use organic cotton etc. The problem is a name, I envision it in green text with several modifications like some letters etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions for an ecofriendly clothing line name? One worded- is preferred, and it can be in any language as long as it sounds nice and rolls of the tongue with ease 🙂

The Expert answers:

Fresh
serene
eco-canyon
sweet earth
preserve
blossom
pure
forrest
oxygen
blush

it really depends on what type of clothes you are making: guys, girls, kids, adults, preppy, punk, classic, hippy, etc.
Add a few more details about the products you have, maybe where you are based, and you will get a lot of good responses.

Hope this helps 🙂
