Sustainable Style : Earth Day Roundup 2019
Every day is the perfect day to love Mother Earth, but let’s pay extra attention to our consumer choices this Earth Day. Every purchase makes an impact! Here are some choice sustainable brands and products that we are recommending this year:
NAGNATA Bralet + Laya Legging
Comfortable and stylish pieces from NAGNATA are made from natural fibers and sustainable manufacturing. In collaboration with The Woolmark Company, NAGNATA has seamlessly blended Australian Merino wool with Tencel for fitted, high-stretch workout clothes with minimal use of synthetic fibers and maximum breathability and softness.
Merino wool is 100 percent natural, renewable and biodegradable. It’s one of the world’s most technically advanced fibers that works with the wearer’s body to control temperature, moisture and odor. The NAGNATA collection proves that sustainably produced fashion can have both style and quality.
Bralet $118; Laya Legging $150
