Want to see your old shirts repurposed as part of an exclusive Loomstate t-shirt collection?  Between April 13th to 27th, bring your old duds to Barneys New York, receive 20% off all Loomstate clothing, and look forward to seeing your shirts “re-fashioned” in the Barneys for Holiday 2008 collection!

The Sundance Channel recently partnered up with Barneys New York and Loomstate to promote Season 2 of THE GREEN by launching this new eco-fashion idea of recycled shirts.  The show’s purpose is to inspire viewers to make changes in their lives to positively impact the environment, without sacrificing style or quality.  The t-shirt campaign is their way of demonstrating that such a change is possible.  Loomstate is a fitting designer for the t-shirt recycling program, as they normally use 100% certified organic materials to make eco-luxe clothing.

As an added incentive, proceeds from the t-shirt recycling program will go to 1% for the Planet, which is a growing network of businesses that donate 1% of their sales to help environmental organizations worldwide.  If you’re looking to do a little spring cleaning, now’s the time!  Find a Barneys store near you at www.sundancechannel.com/ecommunity.

Terra Plana has been making a huge splash in London with their eco-friendly, stylish, and extremely comfortable line of men’s and women’s shoes. Made from recycled materials, their flexible soles make even their high heels a pleasure to wear. Their new line of fall/winter shoes also includes a new project called Sole of Africa. The program’s purpose is to support AIDS orphans in South Africa by teaching unemployed local women to hand-paint the shoes, guaranteeing that each pair is completely unique. Approximately $4.50 of the proceeds of every sale will be donated to charity. In recognition of such efforts, Terra Plana snared the Observer Ethical Award for 2007. Grab yourself a pair for $90 and up at terraplana.com.
