Eco-must-have: Navajo style

The colorful, intricate designs of the Navajo style, which represents the design for most Native American groups, make an entrance in the fashion world at different times, and these are one of those times.
Eco-fashion choices in this trend seemed to be a skimpy list, but luckily there are many vintage choices available through different companies as well as thrift shops.  
Some items will be made from upcycled or recycled fur and leather, so more of these not-so-eco-friendly materials will not be used.
