Recently on my radar and quickly rising the ranks of my obsessions is Stewart + Brown. This ethical fashion brand launched in 2002 in L.A., California. According to the website, “inspired by their love and respect for nature and a passion for design, Karen [Stewart] and Howard [Brown] were filled with a sense of purpose and determined to pioneer the sustainable fashion movement.”
The stunning look above consists of 100% organic rio tee, bandage reversible skirt and anorak top. Le sigh.
Stewart +Brown designs use only organic cotton and green fabrics. All pieces are made from renewable fibers, sustainably harvested and cultivated without the use of herbicides, pesticides or defoliant. Plus, the fibers themselves are naturally resilient and biodegradable!
They also have a premium environmentally friendly knitwear line, hailing from annually renewable free-range resources void of any petro-chemicals in their processing. AND, they harvest, spin and knit all of their cashmere designs in Mongolia (home of the cashmere goats) in an effort to avoid environmentally damaging desertification due to overgrazing and to help sustain the centuries-old Mongolian herders’ nomadic way of life.
So glad to have found this brand, headquartered in the U.S. (no offense London…but you are far away!)
Lata,

P.S. If you’re not in love yet, consider that Stewart+Brown donates a percentage of all sales to non-profit, non-governmental environmental and social welfare organizations.
