Purpose reminder: awareness of exceptional green designers. Not only for their creativity, but their production strategies as well. Comments and ideas from local designers are invited.
Competition reminder: nominations were honored through 2009 August and announced in October of that year. Winners will be announced at the end of this competition series.
Thanks to Organic Baby Products 101, I discovered Satoko Asai is the impressive designer for Sckoon, a division of Nagyar Group, Inc. For about a decade, the company has been making baby clothes from Demeter-certified 100% Egyptian organic cotton.
The Demeter Egyptian cotton is super-soft, absorbent and breathable. Plus it’s the rarest, most luxurious fabric in the world. Both individuals and retailers are invited to shop online for baby clothes, toys, diapers, and women’s menstrual pads.
Satoko knows style! Her creations are hip with the latest fashion trends and Japanese influence. Find bright and colorful offerings that include Funky Monkey Pants, Round Kimono, and New Lap T-shirts. What you don’t find is organic dull! Designer Satoko rightfully describes her collections as a blend of eastern aesthetics and western practicality.
Sckoon materials are fair-trade status, made in Egypt, India, and Japan. In addition to Demeter, SKAL is an international certification and inspection body in the Netherlands for Sckoon. Items are earth-friendly and low-impact dyed for exciting colors. Top that with nickel-free snaps.
