Online Find: FashionConscious.com

We've recently come across online fashion boutique fashion-conscience.com which sells eco friendly and ethical clothing for women. They stock some good designer vegan, fair trade clothes and bags as well as organic cotton clothing.

They’ve recently launched new label Fair+True which features sporty stripes and brights along with Africa inspired designs and animal prints. Eco-friendly doesn’t have to be boring.

A small selection of pieces is currently available on the website with a full launch taking place later this month.

Dreaming of a Green Wedding

Have you ever thought of having a green wedding? No, we don’t mean a green wedding dress. Although you could do that, if you want. We’d like to introduce you to the sustainable bridal designer Sanyukta Shrestha. She makes us want to walk down the aisle – at least once a week!

Check out the intricate embroidery on this bamboo/organic fairtrade wedding dress.













The Nepal-born Londoner spent six years as the official designer for the Miss World Beauty Pageant among others. No wonder! The dress below screams elegance.

And she doesn’t make just dresses, but hats too.

These hats are all hand-made here in England.

We love that Sanyutha is using some of our favourite ethical fabrics such as hemp silk, bamboo and even nettle.

Does Sanyutha make you want to have a green wedding too? You can find out how on www.sanyuktashrestha.co.uk.

Project Artisan

We’ve recently stumbled across Project Artisan – a new socially conscious and ethical e-commerce website. The site connects established and emerging fashion designers with customers who want products designed with attention to craftsmanship as well as sustainability.

They stock clothing (mens, womens and kids), jewellery, bags, shoes, accessories and homewares. We’re quite keen on these pieces:

Ronald Amey sweater jacket, $194 (£124ish)

Heavier than a jumper and lighter than a coat it's good for those in-between days. Would look good with a red scarf.

Heidi Merrick Panorama dress, $374 (£240ish)

Perfect for Spring/Summer worn with simple accessories.










Although US based, they will soon offer international delivery.
