Threads 4 Thought is an amazing apparel company which creates clothing made from sustainable materials. The line is also manufactured in a factory which respects its’ employees, and treats them fairly. Love that!

In addition to being eco-chic in both manufacturing and creation, Threads 4 Thought also gives back to the community! When you spend over $100 on Threads 4 Thought’s website, 10% of your purchase goes directly to the New Roots Campaign. This amazing campaign supports nutrition education programs in 22 American cities, 38 community gardens with New Roots growers, 60 New Roots entrepreneurs, and 850 New Roots growers from more than 30 nations. Love!

Threads 4 Thought makes a fabulous line of clothing and accessories which are perfect for everyday life. I am in love with the hat and scarf combination featured in the photos above. They are warm and cozy! I also love the blue tweed pattern of the knit. I cannot wait to wear these pieces both together, and by themselves, during the cold winter months.

It always feels good to find sustainable, eco-chic products to add to my wardrobe. I wish more brands and designers would follow suit and contribute both to the community, and the health of the globe as a whole.

Jill Milan wallet review

September 25, 2015 in Eco Chic / General Fashion / Handbags tagged handbag reviews / jill milan / vegan style / wallets by Bay Area Fashionista

Pictured: wallet c/o Jill Milan in berry vegan suede

Jill Milan has launched a fabulous collection of wallets; just in time for fall! This collection of wallets is made from a luxurious, and sturdy, vegan fabrication called Elitis Microsuede; which mimics suede. Love them!

The wallets are long, continental style wallets which can also double as a slim clutch. The exterior is microsuede and comes in Blue Iris, Berry (my love!), Teal, Orange, and classic Black. The interior is dark grey, microsuede and organic cotton.

Jill Milan’s wallets offer a zipper closure; which is handy and secure when using the wallet as a clutch. It also helps keeps small receipts and coins in their place.

The interior offers several compartments, and plenty of credit card slots. My iPhone fits comfortably inside one of the compartments, as well as a small set of keys.

The fabrication on Jill Milan’s wallets is made in Italy, but the wallets are made right here in the United States. Love that!

I absolutely adore my Jill Milan Wallet in berry. I have had it for a little over one month, and have been using it everyday. It holds my credit cards, with extra slots to spare, and has enough room for my iPhone, cash, coupons, and receipts. I’m in love!

Jill Milan has also launched a collection of coats and jackets made from vegan fabrics for the fall season. I am in love with the pale pink coat! You can view Jill Milan’s outerwear collection online here. The outerwear is available for pre-order until October 1, 2015 at discounted pricing. Prices go up October 2, 2015.

Of course, for fall, Jill Milan also has a fabulous collection of handbags; what the luxury vegan brand is known for.

In addition to new handbags from Jill Milan, her “New Canaan” clutches are on major sale right now. I have one in green and adore it. These prices are amazing, grab one while you still can!
