H+M joins forces with Elle.com

Starting today, eco-friendly clothing giant H+M will have items available for purchase on the fashion magazine site Elle.com for a limited time.

The fall collection including boyfriend blazers and '60s mod style sweaters can exclusively be found and bought on Elle's site. Since a few pieces were chosen for the project, some are on the verge of being sold out.

Though the Swedish retailer has stores worldwide, it has yet to launch a site to sell items to customers who prefer online shopping.

Angel Jackson python eco-leather handbags

With press coverage in the September issue of Marie Claire, U.K. eco-fashion label Angel Jackson produces überglam handbags, clutches, and totes from ethically sourced leather and products. The facets of eco-fashion are widespread, but some companies use animal resources like feathers for hair accessories without taking note of the mistreatment of the animal, including a shortened lifespan, to start a fashion faux pas trend. 
Large Foldover Clutch, $170, angeljackson.com.
Sisters Katie and Millie Smith found Angel Jackson six years ago with the plan to only create vogue pieces with ethically sourced products. Dannii Minogue (Kylie's sister) and Anna Paquin are just a few celebs who have been spotted with the eco-clutches.

Eco-fashion eye candy #7

Stella McCartney Alexa Eco
Suede Tote Bag, $965,
saksfifthavenue.com.
A tote bag is a girl's best friend, particularly an Italian-made Stella McCartney eco-suede tote.  

Yes, polyurethane helped create the piece but, at least, suede and leather was left out of the equation. It's rarely a win-win situation with eco-fashion, but a suave tote bag is a suave tote bag.
