Summer is winding down. We enjoyed meeting tourists from around the world, and we loved Seattle's long summer days (and nights). Soon the time for wearing light, loose eco clothing will end.
Now, as we plan ahead to fall, we're starting to receive new apparel and shoes for the upcoming season. There's a lot in store! Cozy organic cottons, soft bamboos, and rich hemp. Fall goods are trickling in and summer inventory is on sale. Come on by! Through August, we're supporting Best Friends Animal Sanctuary. Over the summer, we helped raise funds for Sky's The Limit, One Heart Wild and the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project. We have lots of other nonprofits in mind for future months, and all profits from our glass straws, eco utensils, and reusable coffee cups go to Vital Action Project. It's kind of a big deal...We are so excited to be planning our second anniversary! In a fickle world, where a lot of small businesses don't make it to the first-year mark, we're happy to be turning two. And we couldn't have done it without you! Our customers are loyal and are proving that there is a demand for fair, eco-friendly, vegan clothing.
The store wouldn't be in such great shape if it weren't for the wonderful staff you see day in and day out. I'm forever grateful to them, especially employees One and Two who have been with me from the start! That's commitment!
