Canadian Eco Fashion


Canadian Eco fashion is on the rise, and it's not just a trend.
From bamboo fabrics, to recycled polyester, eco textiles are advancing fast. New fashion forward collections are now not only about the design, but also about which new fabrics the designers have found. Not just the look, but also the feel. Not only the garment, but also why you should choose to invest in it.
It's exciting times for Canadian fashion indeed, as designers and their demands are changing the textile industry one season and one request at a time.

Lilikoi from Vancouver uses soy and organic cotton, blended with a small amount of spandex to create a piece from her latest collection. So far, I can't see that anyone has figured out how to make spandex eco friendly. Spandex is usually only 3 percent of a garment. 97 percent sustainable fashion is more than welcome in my wardrobe any day.

Derived from daydreams, quiet nights outside of the city, the soft glow of streetlights, and staying up late listening to love songs…

As always, most of the Kitchen Orange clothing line has been manufactured in Canada. Well done guys ! By manufacturing locally, we can all feel a little more connected to both our fashion choices and also to our community.

If you're feeling cold and need some fashion comfort, I strongly recommend the Kitchen Orange winter line. It's beautiful.
