I came across Habitude while trolling around the ‘net and I love their look. They have a very glam feel about everything they design, while remaining eco-friendly.
Laura Chapuis, the designer of Habitude, spent 8 years working in the fashion industry, and wanted to find more meaning in her work. The line was launched in 2005, after Laura moved to Texas, discovering along the way that Texas produces most of the organic cotton in the country.
All of the fabrics are organic and sustainable and produced domestically. The issue with clothing produced elsewhere is becoming more obvious as gas prices rise. The transportation costs are ridiculous, not to think of the carbon emissions.
