Shop organic cotton at C&A - now on sale!

Hi guys! So I went for an afternoon stroll to the nearest city centre today - I am being an at home mom for the time being, so every day I try to take them somewhere to get these small legs and bodies moving.

As we passed the store C&A I noticed my favorite sign 'SALES' and took them inside right away -since I earlier had discovered that this chain carries styles made of organic cotton as well as a large collection of Oeko-tex marked items. 

As usual, the greatest amount of sales items was in the girls' departement, and I made some great deals with girls' tops in organic cotton for an average of CHF 5 on sale. (We live in Switzerland at the moment and the store is located in Oerlikon by Zürich.)

And what do you know - I even snatched an item for myself in organic cotton - it was the largest kid size and it fits!! I am an size european 40, it has its advantages not being tall sometimes ;)

The kids (aged 4 and 2) also selected something, this time it was pajamas, and even though not made of organic fabric, at least it was Oeko-tex 100.

So tell me - was this information useful to you - do you live near by any C&A outlets? And if you do, would you ever shop there, or is the store not sustainable enough for you? I like to shop there because the prices are very low, and I don't have an personal income at the time being.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, and recommendations for your favorite sustainable fashion outlet!

Love, Greenhunter

H&M Conscious Exclusive SS13

Apart from the 'regular' Conscious Collection, this spring H&M has launched a collection of more exclusive clothing that has been sustainably produced. Consisting primarily of evening gowns and matching accessories, these items are produced with more individual ornaments and are also priced higher than the usual H&M garment.

I was out browsing in H&M's biggest shop in Copenhagen (Strøget/Amagertorv) with best friend M the other day, and this is what I stumbled upon:

 Here's a lovely, heavily ornamented 50's looking dress complete with a matching box purse. I am trying to save some money at the moment, otherwise this purse most def was going to come with me. At retail price 250 Dkr it's a steal. (Made of recycled polyester).

Mannequins clad in the Conscious Exclusive collection.

 Something for the fellas....Conscious shoes in the men's department. Don't expect any barefoot feeling in this puppies though. ;)

Lovely kimono and matching loose pants. They look like silk, but are in fact recycled polyester. Price accordingly: only about 300 Dkr / piece.

And here I am, wearing the conscious item I ended up buying, it's a pale denim shirt made of Tencel with click on glass-colored buttons. Casual and comfy, also a color that fits anything (and, most importantly all the trousers I have planned wearing for this summer :) And speaking of trousers, note the pair I'm wearing; army colored organic cotton conscious pants with (a lot) of golden zippers. They're cropped, but on a shorter woman like me, they work perfectly as ancle-long pants.
