Would you pay $80 for a designer organic cotton t-shirt? What if it helped to save the planet? Even better, what if it were on sale?
While I have splurged on hip eco-friendly tees in the
past (can you say adorable Zooey?), I have also bought many on sale. Who doesn’t love a good bargain.
Now thanks to the web site You Deserve, the sale ends
today and starts tomorrow. Eco-fashionistas are rejoicing because every day is
an eco-fashion sale day on www.youdeserve.com.
Consider it overstock for planet-conscious brands like Del Forte, Grace &
Cello, and Oxygen Required (bamboo and surplus fabrics). There are even Under
the Canopy bathrobes at a discount. I see several items that I paid full price for!
A fabulous Ecoist portfolio tote is on an
unbelievable sale, marked down from $138 to $48. I have always wanted one of
these colorful pieces made Fair Trade from 100% recycled candy wrappers. If you
don’t buy it, I just might have to. 5, 4, 3, 2...
As for a minor wish list, I would love to see the brand name
as part of each product listing initially, but you can click through to see
the maker. Some of the fabrics just say “cotton”
without the word organic in front of it, which is a little confusing, but most
of the fabrics are eco-friendly. I hope that even more eco-fashion brands will join
the party online.
Not everyone has the luxury of having a wonderful eco-fashion
boutique around the corner (Eco Citizen) or can spend $80 on a bamboo t-shirt, but
thanks to You Deserve, more people will get a break on eco-fashion today and that
is an glorious thing for our wallets and the planet. www.youdeserve.com
Being an Eco-fashionistas is also about NOT buying things you don't need! Most people go crazy with sales and buy more then what they need.
