Another amazing event covered by We Know TV today, celebrating Earth Week 2011 at The Muse New York in Time Square. The “Eco-Chic Boutique” event featured 5 designers of eco friendly brands that I got the chance to talk with. Linda Wong of Canopy Verde, showed us her fantastic line of handbags made of organic cotton and chrome free leather at phenomenal prices for fashionistas world wide. My favorite was the white Freesia bag that I wish I could’ve snagged right off of the table before leaving.
Mango Tree Bangles wowed us with their vibrant and bright colored fitted bangles perfect for every wrist with one of their four sizes. Their accessory would match any item of clothing in my closet and yours, and we can feel good knowing they were made only from trees no longer able to yield fruit. Remember folks, this is about staying green!
But I have to say Reiter8 was the brand I was most impressed by. Totes, messenger bags and pillows all made from sails from sail boats. Up-cycle designer Katherine Rasmussen says, instead of recycle. The coolest thing to be able to donate your old sail to Katherine for her line and in return, receive a tote or pillow made from it! Better be sure I purchased one of her hand made business card holders for myself. I also think I might of convinced her to design a line of bikinis made from the sails, and if so I hope she now has me on speed dial.
A unique event to remind us all, going green’s actually pretty hot! And we can make it apart of our every day lifestyles with fashion, necessities, and even happy hour with the organic vodka cocktails from Square One Vodka! What a great way to bring in Spring with an all around good feeling that today’s proceeds will benefit The Trust for Public Land – an organization dedicated to conserving land for people to enjoy as parks, gardens and other natural places. Check out these designers soon and let We Know TV help you invite the Green Movement into your life!!
In light of earth week 2011 the fabulous Muse Hotel in NY hosted the first ever ‘Eco chic boutique’ where exhibitors got to display how to be eco friendly and stylish at the same time. You had everything from environmental friendly handbags made from recycled parasail’s, to mango tree bracelets, skin care and much more.
