West Linn, Ore. - Aysia Wright, owner of Greenloop, strives to offer her clientele the best the eco-fashion world has to offer. Gone are the days when the choices of "environmentally responsible clothing" were between burlap sacks and shapeless color grown cotton t-shirts. The mix at Greenloop covers a pretty wide range in taste, from haute tops & suits by Anna Cohen to stylish staples by Stewart+Brown to casual shirts & jeans by Loomstate, the offerings are sure to please the palette of many a hip green guy or gal with no need to sacrifice personal style along the way.

After a little over a year and a half in businesses, Greenloop has given its website a facelift, dramatically improving the shopping experience for would be eco-savvy clothing & accessory shoppers by providing multiple views of each item, size charts, wish lists, and a monthly e-newsletter to keep us In The Loop about what's new in the eco-fashion world, who's in the spotlight, what's coming soon, how to save a buck or two while re-styling our newly green wardrobes.

As many recent mainstream publications have recently made known to the masses, green is rapidly becoming the new black. Just look to the April and May issues of Elle, Vanity Fair, and Wired magazines, not to mention the rise of edgy, green magazines like Plenty and Shift. Demand is growing for brands that smoothly combine the use of sustainable textiles and great designs like Edun, Loyale, Ciel, Helen E. Riegle, Carol Young, coolnotcruel, Salvation Sacks, Deborah Lindquist,Vy & Elle, and more, including recently debuted lines like Del Forte Denim and Grace & Cello (coming Fall 2006).

Greenloop brings the best lines together under one roof (shop online or at their shop in West Linn, OR) to support consumer activism and the push toward a sustainable economy. All the products offered at Greenloop are made by companies committed to an environmentally (and socially) responsible business model, from the textiles they use, to the manufacturing processes employed, to the labor and trade standards they support, green is their way of business. Clothes and accessories are made from linen, organic cotton, bamboo, hemp, silk, soy, organic wool, recycled and reused textiles, tencel, modal, and the list is growing.
The Greenloop mission is clear: the alignment of style and sustainability; the fusion of aesthetics and ethics, by providing the opportunity for every person to look fabulous, feel great, and do good. Wright encourages her consumers to vote with their dollar for breathable air, clean water, healthy people as well as diverse and thriving wildlife.
