We3 Eco- Fashion {Review and Giveaway}

I am incredibly passionate about eco- fashion. I love fashion in general, but eco-friendly local fashion is especially near and dear to my heart. We3 is my latest Canadian eco-fashion find and I am completely smitten with their lovely pieces. They offer designs with clean lines and interesting cuts, while using quality eco-friendly fabrics. Furthermore, We3 sustainably makes all of their clothing in Vancouver BC.
The Spring/Summer 2011 collection from We3 was very popular at Vancouver's Eco Fashion Week last month and  I can definitely see why. It features a variety of wearable, modern, and stylish pieces. The fabrics are light, the cuts are universally figure flattering, and the colors are gorgeous. I really love each piece in this collection, and was thrilled to be able to review their gorgeous Kimono Sleeve Essential top.

As soon as I tried on the beautifully deigned  Kimono Sleeve Essential from We3, I knew it would be one my favorite tops this spring. I especially love the interesting and unique cut; the boat neck and wide kimono sleeves offer a really lovely draped silhouette and that is so flattering. This top is also very versatile, looking great paired with almost everything. The bamboo/organic cotton blend is soft, comfortable, and a nice cool fabric.  My Kimono Sleeve top is a pretty Vapour Gray color, but it is also available in custom red, mint and black.

Another thing I love about We3 is that their web store features video clips of each design. As a very visual person, I love being able to see the design in a video before I buy. Sometimes it can be hard to visualize clothing in online shops, and I find these clips give me a really good sense of the We3 garments. Check out the video below of the Kimono Sleeves Essential top:

We3 designs is a collaboration between three talented Canadian designers; Glencora Twigg, Jessica Vaira, and Christine Hotton. The three met in design school and are dedicated to designing clothing that is unique and modern, while being gentle on our planet. They established the amazing twigg&hottie Boutique before starting We3 in 2008. Since then, the three have been designing fabulous clothing made exclusively out of sustainable fabrics.

Shop: The Kimono Sleeve Essential reviewed above is available in two different fabric choices: a bamboo rayon/organic cotton blend or a modal blend. It can be purchased online from We3 for $79.00 CAD. We3 designs can also be found at these select retailers. Shop now as production is limited and sizes can sell out fast!

The Giveaway: We3 has very generously offered to give one of my readers a Kimono Sleeve Essential top in Custom Red (size Medium).
