Eco-denim secret #1: Eco-denim is usually cheaper for men, children, and juniors, so if you're willing to try out men's jeans or squeeze into juniors, it would make the search easier.

Eco-denim secret #2: Although you can find organic/recycled cotton jeans easier online, the major stores that actually sell eco-denim like to have more choices in their stores.

Eco-denim secret #3: Most companies that use organic cotton find it easier to incorporate it into smaller pieces (i.e. T-shirts) rather than larger pieces (i.e. jeans). So maybe buying regular cotton jeans with an organic cotton top can still ease your eco-consciousness.

A true recessionista wants eco-fashion at an affordable price, and even though it might be difficult, there are bargains for everything involving organic and recycled clothing.
