This month's issue of Flare Magazine, features an article listing Canada's 10 best eco-friendly clothing boutiques. Five of the shops/designers listed are from right here in Vancouver. How awesome is that?!?! These stores/designers prove that you can dress in an environmentally friendly manner, without looking like a hippy (not that there's anything wrong with that....).
Here's a list of our 5 eco-chic shops:
Body Politic Clothing + Accessories
They're all about promoting eco-friendly clothing without sacrificing style. "Independent designers from Vancouver to New York are showcased at body politic. You'll find exceptional designs with an urban aesthetic, produced in North America, and created from the best natural and sustainable fabrics."
