So a couple weeks ago I purchased organic clothes at the Green Mercantile which is in downtown Duluth. The clothes I purchased had these brand names: Of the Earth, Indigenous, and Blue Canoe. I suppose I should have someone take a photo of me in my new clothes.
My jeans are made of hemp and they fit perfectly. Right now there website is down www.oftheearth.com so I will have to check back to see if they have photos of my jeans online. I also got a black jacket and a skirt made of cotton and silk.
I selected two shirts from Blue Canoe.
The one shown here, which I got in sapphire blue or what Blue Canoe calls cornflower and another black tank top with lace around the arms.
In the past I had only purchased organic cotton socks at the Green Mercantile because I told myself it was too expensive. When I found myself tempted by some new clothes at an upscale boutique I decided, "If I can buy these, I can buy the ones at Green Mercantile." So I went right over to the Green Mercantile and tried on some clothes. I am very pleased.
(The address is 209 East Superior Street, Duluth, MN 55802. And the phone number is (218) 722-1771.)
If you are living in another location in Minnesota visit this websearch page to find other stores with organic clothing.

Good choices! Large amounts of chemicals are used to grow cotton conventionally. Not only do they degrade the soil and water, but they can also end up on/in you.
