This pea coat by Vaute Couture is beautiful, feminine and proceeds support a good cause, The Farm Sanctuary. The shell is 100% recyclable, the liner 100% recycled, and the buttons are made of bamboo. However at over $550, you might think twice.
Another way to build and eco-friendly wardrobe is to think “hand-me-overs”.
My daughter hit the jackpot in her Grandmother’s closet. She found a red pea-coat in need of a new home. It's a little big in the body and I offered to have it altered but she declined. Teens rarely care about a perfect
fit. At $15 for a cleaning at the organic dry cleaners, this pea coat is ready for winter and we've saved a whole lot of money. So, go visit a relative or friend and rummage, swap, or steal (just kidding) until you’re each excited about something new to wear with a zero price tag and a zero carbon footprint. An Easy Go Green!
