LUFLUX



We love this bespoke designer brand. Pop down to their exhibition of recycled mens and womenswear 28th October - 10th November. All of the garments are a concoction of slavaged, vintage, organic and new fabrics resulting in all pieces being unique and one-off. We're heading down to the private view tomorow. Expect to see some pictures from the exhibition here soon.

At ecobtq we care about where our purchases come from we want to look fashionable and stylish but at no cost to the world around us. We want to support designers that are challenging fashion and create a platform to promote them. We have created a boutique where you can find innovative design and desirable fashion made from sustainable resources. Designers featured work with recycled fabrics, vintage materials, organic fibers; azo free dyes, fair trade and manufacture in sweat shop free factories.They are stocked in luxury stores like Harvey Nichols and Liberty in London, and have been featured in glossy magazines such as Vogue and ID magazine.

Ecobtq have a strong eco policy, all of our stationary is printed on recycled post consumer waste, and all of our packaging is or can be recycled.

For every purchase over £5.00, £3.50 will be donated to one of our three chosen charities. The World Wildlife Fund, Oxfam, Friends of the Earth.

SAVE THE MALE



Two young men are attempting to break the world record for t-shirt wearing, and raise money for CALM, the Campaign Against Living Miserably, in the process. Each t-shirt they wear will be printed with a logo which has been submitted by a company or person for the small sum of £100. SADLY THERE'S NOTHING ON THE SITE ABOUT WHERE THE T-SHIRTS BEING USED HAVE BEEN MADE AND WHETHER THEY'RE MADE OF ORGANIC COTTON. COME ON GUYS. We'll update you if we find out more.
