In celebration of Earth Day (or Earth Week as they are promoting on NBC), we wanted to post a story on one of our eco-friendly designers Skin Lingerie. Skin is a luxury loungewear line which offers pieces made from 100% organic pima cotton, organic terry cloth and uses 100% organic vegetable dyes for coloring some of its pieces.
We know that 'organic' is a popular buzz word these days, but a lot of people aren't exactly sure what this entails when they purchase a clothing labeled organic. Basically, organic agriculture is a cleaner approach to farming in which farmers use biologically-based rather than chemically-dependent growing systems to raise crops. An interesting fact to note is that each T-shirt made from one hundred percent organic cotton saves one-third of a pound of synthetic fertilizers and farm chemicals!
