Sustainable Luxury is No Oxymoron
Extending a green hand towards environmental responsibility might not come easily to all luxury designers, but there are plenty heading to the greener side with organic cotton and hemp creations.
COTO luxury offers a fresh take on eco-chic with a preppy and sporty collection this Fall, a round of understated accessories including tote bags, a classic banksy hat, huck fin suspenders, scarves and ties.
The COTO tote bag is a soy-based canvas and suede construction with a handy iPod and PDA holder nestled inside. Organic cotton canvas on the outside, and natural hemp and cotton blend within; top it all off with sustainable fallen rack antler buttons and a tan, (vegetable) dyed leather and you’ve got one eco-functional organizer by your side.
Aimed for the casual yet classy crowds, COTO is another green-inspired company that proves sustainable luxury can be a leading philosophy of fashion.
Eco chic just got easier.
COTO tote: $200
I recently bought one of their scarves at Annie O in New York. The material is soft and the craftmanship is great. It’s great to see social responsibility entering the fashion industry one player at a time.
