Eco-fashion in oxblood

The fashion world has christened oxblood the color of the season.

Yes, the burgundy brown color earned an overly dramatic moniker, but there is a fierce campaign in place to promote it, and it's appearing in everything from leggings to handbags.

Oxblood has soaked into leather and other fabrics, but below are some eco-friendly options in following the trend.

Faux croc leather accessories @ Forever 21

Embossed Faux Crocodile
Handbag, $19.80, forever21.com.

Maybe I watched a few too many alligator/crocodile-killing reality show episodes, but their leathery skin replicas have become more appealing. 

Part of the new trends for fall and winter, Forever 21 has added several suave pieces like handbags, briefcases, and wallets made from "faux crocodile leather" also known as polyvinyl chloride or PVC. 

It's not exactly an eco-friendly faux leather, but faux leather usually uses less resources in its manufacturing process compared to real leather. And for the animal lovers, faux leather is the vegan choice.

Kardashian Kollection hits Sears stores

The Kardashian sisters officially launched their clothing line at Sears stores this week. 

Though it's not exactly eco-fashion, it gets an honorable mention due to its variety of using leopard print, which I absolutely love for every occasion.

Most of the attire is made from synthetic fabrics such as polyester and elastane, but some items have the leather look without the leather like these hot leggings.
