Ecoalf BagA new eco-label is preparing to enter the American market. Ecoalf hails from Spain, and after conquering Europe has the United States firmly in its sights.

Ecoalf shows its commitment to the planet by using only 100% recycled and recyclable materials to create its apparel and accessories. These innovative green materials include recycled polyester made from used plastic bottles and nylon sourced from old fishing nets. Since its inception the label has helped recycled more than two million PET bottles and 8.9 kilograms of fishing net. When you consider how much space those plastics would take up in landfill, you seen realize the importance of Ecoalf’s practices.

Ecoalf can take care of most of your fashion needs with its range of bags, shoes, and jackets. They’re all fairly casual so probably only suitable for daywear, but who knows what’s to come from the label in future. I’d love to see some evening attire and clutch purses that are just as green as the rest of the label!

You can expect to see Ecoalf goodies at your local Bloomingdale’s and other high-end boutiques this July. And if you just can’t wait, you can score some select pieces early at New York’s green store KAIGHT.
