Soft, airy and full of spring, these 100% organic cotton knits are certainly the most playful and feminine of the season. Many of these styles combine the lightly brushed, subtly fuzzy texture of the crepe cotton with pima under layers and creative pieced plackets to create charming looks full of youthful flare. Since these styles use cotton that’s grown without the use of herbicides and pesticides, they’re helping the soil stay healthy and ensuring its longevity and yield for future generations. They’re also healthier for you! So do yourself a favor and hop into these flattering, fun dresses, skirts and tops that come equipped with peace of mind.

Bag and Bundle

Shown:
Windy Heart Crescent Bag // Clover Purse Tote

Bundle up some fun with these buttoning bags. Each style is printed with original artwork inspired by Karen’s trip to the seaside villages of Portugal. They’re constructed with durability in mind and made from a surplus cotton and hemp blend. Surplus fabrics are perfectly sustainable since they reuse scrap fabrics left over from larger production runs and since they’re lined with an organic cotton, these bags give you even more bang for your buck.
