| FASHION / ECOSALON HOME Sep 4, 2008 at 5:00 am by Luanne Bradley Underneath It All You're out on another date with your environmentally-conscious hottie.While you freshen up under low-voltage lights in the bathroom, he waits for you on your new, toxin-free fiber sofa, lighting soy candles and pouring each of you a glass of organic Chardonnay in recycled glassware. You return after brushing your teeth (sans the water running) and reapplying eco lip gloss (made without animal testing) and cozy up beside him. He kisses you and you melt like a Sunkist popsicle at Disneyland in August. There's no turning back. Thank goodness you're green all the way - because you are wearing a certified organic cotton thong from Rawganique. So much for that green restaurant reservation. Yes, it all comes down to the thong. This site, which offers intimate wear for "a fragile planet" has an impressive selection of cotton and hemp underwear in every style for men, women and kids. Boxers, briefs, bras and tees - they've got you comfortably covered. The thongs, in natural, blueberry or lavender, are $15-19 a pair, and the whisper-thin cotton keeps eco chic gals coming back for more. Related Posts ↓ |
