  • Sustainable fashion Thursday: Bello & Eco

    In the fair trade week in Utrecht, I found Bello & Eco

    Their philosophy  is based on promoting goods that are beautiful and durable.

    I got my eyes in this elegant, yet casual hat, the fashionable addition to my sustainable-conscious style.

    The hat is made from Toquilla straw ( Carloduvica Palmata), a natural fiber known for its reusable properties. The artisans from northern Peru use the fiber to handcraft beautiful accessories while working in good conditions for a fair wage.

    Carmen, Bello & Eco owner, sent the hat via the post with a lovely surprise, a mini-bag made with the same fiber. It is flexible, neatly  finished  and promises durability.

     

     

  • Spring and summer 2017 in Argentina by Verel, a twist of fashion and tradition.

    street-style-by-verelElena Wetzel, Verel’s owner, and designer says that her fashion concept is:”una serena sabiduría y clásica seducción entre la mujer y la moda.”

    In my understanding, the concept is clearly seen in the 2017 Spring-Summer collection. A combination of wisdom and a classic seduction between woman and fashion.

    For this S/S-17. Elena re-conceptualizes fashion from the colonial Argentina.

    This collection assembles off-shoulder tops, maxi skirts, dresses, pantaloons and, divine accessories. Made from the finest materials such as leather, lace, organza, ruffles and, silk chiffon.
