Kate Organic: Glamorously Green

Jul 30, 2008 Author: Jenn Breckenridge | Filed under: Behind the Label

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Kate Organic, launched just this summer by husband and wife team Kate Fisher and Henry Schwab, is already getting picked up by the best eco retailers in the industry. Kate’s fresh and ultra feminine frocks bring to mind classic scenes of 1940’s society functions. The Kate Organic Picnic Dress tells you exactly what it’s designed for-looking simultaneously coifed and comfortable during the sultriest outdoor events of summer. The Julianne Dress is a stunning and quite versatile choice for anything from a hot date to shopping with your best friends, a city wedding to a country winetasting. Their Movie Star Dress was already voted one of the Top 10 summer dresses by Sprig.com.

All Kate garments are currently made from fairly traded, SKAL-certified organic cotton from farmer co-operatives in India. As a former staff member of Greenpeace and the Waterwheel Foundation, Henry’s environmental expertise brings an expert eye to the sustainability aspect of the line. Kate’s taste for timeless silouettes adds another level of eco-consciousness, by creating pieces that will be in vogue for years to come. This Santa Cruz couple marries sustainability and style, without sacrifice. Amen.

*For every Kate Organic garment sold, a tree is planted through Trees For The Future (TFTF).

The line is beautiful. The last sentence of your article hit the nail on the head. If all industries could figure out how to marry style and sustainability ( and make it easy) we would have a much greener planet.

Take Care,
