A girl can never have too many summer dresses – they’re chic, easy to throw on in no time, and help you beat the heat. EcoSkin has helped add ‘smart’ to the list of the benefits of wearing dresses – designer Sandy Skinner crafts garments using Tencel and bamboo, both sustainable. EcoSkin’s is Tencel is 100% organic and biodegradable, extracted from wood pulp taken from tree farms that only practice sustainability. The brand’s bamboo is 100% naturally grown, requiring no pesticides, insecticides or fertilizers.

Skinner names the Italian Riviera and the women who work and play there as her influences, which explains the elegant drapery and high design aesthetic of each dress. The Brasenia dress, with its asymmetrical strap and bubble hem, gives off a playful, flirtatious vibe that’s perfect for summer barbecues and rooftop shindigs. Plus, it pairs well with both heels and flats, so you can take it with you to the beach or dress it up for a night on the town.

The fact that bamboo is one of the world’s most sustainable resources is reason enough to invest in bamboo products. It absorbs about 400% more greenhouse gases and produces 35% more oxygen than standing trees, and it’s antibacterial, antifungal, and antistatic. But EcoSkin’s commitment to the environment doesn’t stop at choice of fabric, either – the collection is produced in Los Angeles so that Skinner and her team can be absolutely sure her high standards of manufacturing and fair trade are upheld.
