Go Go Green
Fab's 10 Green Day Designers
Earth Day is not over yet. . .
On Our Radar: Tobi Loves Ugly Boxes
One of my favorite online retailers, Tobi, is making a loud and proud declaration: It loves an ugly box! In order to stop adding more waste into the environment, it has decided to start reusing all the boxes it receives on a daily basis. A brand new box may look prettier, but Tobi believes it's what's inside that counts.
Online Sale Alert! 20% Off Eco-Friendly Dresses
eDressMe is the place to go for all occasion dresses. The retailer is currently holding an eco-friendly sale in honor of Earth Day. From now until Monday, April 20, get 20 percent off all eco-friendly dresses, like this Black Boat Neck Synergy Organic Sundress ($52, originally $64).
Fab Finger Discount: Larsen Gray Bellara Crop Braid Tank
Remember this eco-friendly Larsen Gray Bellara Crop Braid Tank that I highlighted a while back? It's now on sale for $108 (originally $216). Great color and braided detail.
On Our Radar: Banana Republic Goes Green
We're all for sustainability at Fab, so when we heard Banana's going green with its new Heritage collection, we had to let you in on the details. "Sustainability is the new luxury," said executive vice president of design Simon Kneen, who describes the collection, seen left, as "signature sportswear for the really modern attitude."
The Heritage collection, ranging from $39 to $150, is made out of organic cotton, soy silk, and bamboo.
Fab Flash: Ferragamo Goes Green
Ferragamo has gone green. In an effort to preserve the Earth, the luxury brand has created a line of eco-friendly handbags named Eco Ferragamo. What makes this collection special is that the bags are made from a nontoxic tanning technique, are lined in handwoven hemp, and use dyes from natural elements such as tree bark.
Fab Blab: Kate Bosworth Wears Recycled (Phillip Lim) Zippers
You know, you hear about celebrities being environmental activists, but to see it seals the deal.
We love Kate Bosworth; she's so cute and her style is ever evolving. We were super excited when we found out she was going to co-host this year's Gorgeous and Green benefit in San Francisco.
Simply Fab: Reusable Shopping Bags That Bounce
You thought you'd seen them all: Reusable shopping bags that practically every retailer sells now — but you have another option. its-laS-tik reusable bags ($14) are green, stylish, and bouncy.
Bouncy?
