Check out Emmeline 4 Re for gorgeous recycled fashion designs and an equally gorgeous website to boot! Talented designer Emmeline uses fabric off cuts, donated habedashery, vintage fabrics and unwanted charity items to make her fabulously stylish collection. Unique tie-neck blouses, box pleat skirts, original jackets and cute cami tops are the result. Some of Emmeline's delectable designs are also available through The Natural Store here.
In an interview with Kucha magazine Emmeline says:"The whole ethos behind the label is highly ethical so the challenge for me was to capture the feelings without compromising the ethics! Recycling is a serious issue, so we are very passionate about colour, cut and trim of our clothes to make sure the finished product is not seen as recycled garment but as a highly desirable fashion piece with the added bonus that buyers have a clear conscience!"
Another new designer on the UK Eco block with a divine website is Snood (Sustainable New One off Designs). Based in Huddersfield, UK, Ruth Walker is the woman behind the label and she has created a beautiful and practical range of clothes from recycled knitted garments. Snood is another great example of modern design promoting the sustainable approach. As the website says: Re-use * Re-Shape * Re-Style. A selection of designs are available through The Natural Store here.
"At Snood we believe in reducing waste by re-using existing resources – makes sense doesn’t it? We like to rescue neglected and rejected garments and bring them back to life with a sprinkle of imagination and our treasure trove of scrumptious bits, giving you a high quality one-off style without the designer price. All Snood garments are British sourced, designed and made. They are produced ethically and with consideration for the environment so with our unique garments your conscience will look as super-dooper as you do!"For more eco fashion from the UK and abroad check the sidebar listings at Ecomonkey
