Eco-Chic: Conscious Jeans Del Forte Denim

Del Forte Denim

Organic Cotton = Luxury. Del Forte Denim is designed for the eco-chic woman who is transforming the face of fashion. Made in the USA with 100 percent organic cotton, Del Forte’s premium denim apparel is part of a growing trend which interprets luxury as a combination of distinctive design and ethical production.

The garments are sewn and finished in Los Angeles, a fashion-forward city that is a leader in anti-sweatshop legislation and enforcement, as well as being home to the most cutting-edge wash development facilities in the country.

Del Forte Denim has partnered with The Sustainable Cotton Project, which has been building bridges between farmers, manufacturers and consumers to pioneer markets for certified organically grown and sustainable cotton since 1994. A portion of Del Forte Denim’s proceeds will go to support The SCP.

We are committed to using green products and services whenever possible. Our office is stocked with eco-friendly supplies, all our printing is done on New Leaf paper using vegetable-based inks and we found a carbon neutral company to host delforte.com.

Eco-Chic: A Cry from the Heart Cri de Coer Organic Footwear

About Cri de Coer:

Cri de Coeur is a French expression that translates literally to “cry from the heart.” To us, it symbolizes our heartfelt desire to change the face of the fashion footwear market. Launching for Spring 2008, Cri de Coeur provides stylish, contemporary women’s footwear that is ethically produced from start to finish.

Every pair is made by hand as much as possible in Europe. Our shoes are entirely free of animal products and as environmentally friendly as technology will allow, without sacrificing style or wearability.

Not your usual vegan footwear, there’s no sign of the “granola, hippie” stereotype here. These are shoes for serious fashionistas, with a conscience.

Cri de Coeur’s mission is to become a name synonymous with high fashion and uncompromising ethical values. We will also attempt to make a real impact on people’s mindsets as they shop by helping them to be more aware of how their purchases affect the planet.

We have partnered with thecarbonfund.org to offset all carbon emissions that we can’t avoid, and have pledged to plant a tree for every pair of shoes sold.
