Their mission is to educate, inspire and organize people to create justice and peace through nonviolence. We had the chance to chat with the founders of the company to see what drives them to fulfill this passion.

What led you in this direction to create BE LOVE?

We created Be Love to help us fund the Peace Education work that we do through our nonprofit partner Common Peace. Find designer 2012 prom dresses

Be Love has been a natural way for us to live our core beliefs.
This work allows us to be creative and express ourselves through inspiring and eco friendly production and design.

What is your most popular style?

All Be Love styles are our favorites, of course! So much of us goes into creating ones that we love. KamGi especially likes our long sleeve organic top in ocean blue with the Be Love design and Kyle digs the new organic charcoal T with the Peace Warrior design. (Note from ecoki: We love the simple, yet artistic, styles!)

Who is your ideal customer?

Our customers run the spectrum of old and young, male and female of all colors, shapes and sizes. Be Love attracts customers that love beauty and have a strong desire to buy and wear clothing that represents their core beliefs in environmental sustainability and nonviolence. Our customers support great work through their purchase of Be Love and this is very important to them.

What does the future hold for BE LOVE?

God only knows but we see a continuation of great new designs and purposeful products. We also look forward to growing peace studies and  activism around the principles of nonviolence to create positive changes in the communities we find ourselves in.

How do you live an eco-friendly lifestyle?

We think about the consequences of our actions and how they affect the earth that we will leave to our children grandchildren and so-forth.

We educate ourselves about the issues and challenges we face as people who are stewards of this planet.
We live simply so that others can simply live.

It doesn’t end there, though. We definitely recommend you check out their Peace Studies on their website. This is where we know that the company is driven to making a change, by providing easily attained resources at the tips of our fingers.

We also love that the crew at Be Love donates 10% of all sales to Common Peace, an organization that helps teach the principles of peace, nonviolence, and conflict resolution.  The rest of their profits go toward building nonviolence workshops and funding campaigns of non-violent direct action.

They say their t-shirts communicate a message of strength, compassion, and loving determination for peace and social justice. If that’s not enough, they look good, too.

BE LOVE GIVEAWAY!

Congrats to debb for winning this giveaway! Please stay tuned for our next one. Communion dresses for girls on sale.

And that’s where Wear the Earth comes into play. Wear the Earth is an online boutique, selling organic, eco-friendly clothing. Run by busy mom Tiffany Parks, she took her years of retail management experience to move forward with an eco-driven website, while simultaneously raising her family.

The best part about Wear the Earth is the array of organic gear they sell And because organic fabrics are superior to conventional fabrics, you know you’re getting quality products.

Selling so much more than just clothing, Wear the Earth has something for everyone, as well as great gift options. From bedding to towels, baby items,  home and body products, accessories, and yoga gear, it’s almost impossible to shop here and leave without an order.

What’s even better, is that all companies involved with Wear the Earth are handpicked to ensure their own greenness, including Fair-Trade practices to planet-friendly dyes and fabrics. Baby item are bleach-free, organic materials are used and toxins and heavy-metals are not to be seen.

Instead, fabrics are naturally dyed with low-impact Oeko-tex 100 dyes, as well as clay, and materials such as hemp, organic cotton, soy, lyocell, and bamboo are used.

We’ve had the opportunity to review one of their organic sweaters, and we can definitely see what makes it so great!

The Organic Cable Sweater is manufactured from a blend of primarily bamboo with an addition of organic cotton, a perfect mixture for comfort and warmth.

With a flattering fit, the heather grey sweater features a textured cable design running vertically to create a long silhouette. The scoop neck can flatter on its own, or complements a collared shirt for a tailored office-look.

The lightweight, semi-fitted sweater is the bamboo-trademark softness that brings comfort to a whole new level. Days of scratchy wool are left behind, when you realize that you’ll only want bamboo-based sweaters at the heart of your fall and winter wardrobe.

The full-length sleeves and long waistband are perfect for those with longer arms and torsos, but the lightweight material allows you to roll up the sleeves or tuck in the hem without appearing bulky.

In short? Gorgeous, comfortable and versatile – and great for the planet, too.

We also love to point out when companies take the extra step towards sustainability, and the crew at Wear the Earth follow suit. Their packaging and shipping is minimal, using just enough to get the job done. She also spreads the eco-word around town on living a greener life.

In addition, they are approved by Green America, a non-profit organization set out to gather economic power to create a socially just and environmentally sustainable society.

Wear the Earth wears their heart on their sleeve, truly considering the environment in all that they do. From constantly re-evaluating their carbon footprint to offering accessible, organic options to consumers, we definitely recommend – and love – the goods that they offer.

True to their mantra, they only deal with manufacturers who follow Fair Trade policies, combining fashion and positive ethics into one.

The company is as green as their goods, failing to mark any sort of footprint, from riding bicycles to eating organic, local, and low-food chain food, and reusing, reducing and recycling every where possible. They only make new purchases when they can reach their goal of supporting sustainable companies who produce low-impact goods.

Their goals are built on delivering soft, gorgeous, and fashionable clothing, shoes and accessories, but keep it eco-friendly, too. Searching for solutions, they soon discovered a mountain of designers who would stop at nothing for ethical creations – from conception to final result.

green is black ensures that all environmental and social impacts are measured before selling the goods – and the goods, too, are some to note.

Their collection is filled with everything from casual tank tops, to comfortable underwear, to luxurious dresses and jackets. And the Kelly B top follows the same guidelines: gorgeous, comfortable, and completely environmentally friendly.

The little details on the top are what makes it stand above the rest. A ruffled detail around the neck complements three, small buttons and a mock collar, flattering to every figure. Each sleeve features the same ruffle and button – a minor detail that draws the eyes to summer sun-kissed arms.

The loose, comfortable fit curves with you body in all the right places, doing its best to accentuate a boyish figure, or gracefully fall in the right places on curvy girls.

Made with 65% hemp and 35% silk, the top delivers a silky sheen that is easy to dress up with your favourite skirt and heals, or keep casual with a comfortable pair of jeans. The comfortable fabric makes you feel like you’re wearing your favourite lived-in tee, but the light, airy fit adds that extra boost of style.

The shirt is coloured in a sexy, feminine lavender, a perfect shade for nearly every skintone, without loud colours or patterns, so its easy to accessorize.

We are in love with the USA-made, sweatshop-free top, and green is black, too, knowing that our shirt was chosen carefully and sustainably, by a company who practices what they preach.

That’s exactly how it is with clothes from Dear Lil’ Devas, a clothing company based out of Toronto, Ontario.

It didn’t just start with a bamboo dress, however. With a  commitment to eco-friendliness, the crew at Dear Lil’ Devas combine high quality product with a love for nature. Owner and designer Rosie Connor was the brainchild of the company, after trying to develop loose-fitting, breathable yoga pants to move with her in her yoga practice.

It took a year to perfect the 100% cotton pants, but as soon as she did – word began to spread.

It’s now evolved to a traditional. unisex yoga pant in two styles and five colours. The trademark bottom keeps it roomy, contouring to any posture and any body. With a quick-drying cotton, its design is dedicated to our fast-paced lives.

The small company handcrafts each product from start to finish, so when we were asked to review one of their garments, we couldn’t refuse.

The Bamboo Dress is functional, comfortable, and stylish, all rolled into one. You’d never know that the material doesn’t carry any stretch Lyrca; but the combination of 70% bamboo and 30% organic cotton feels almost too good to be true.

The allergy-free materials skin your body with an essence that works with any figure. Bamboo’s naturally antibacterial and anti-fungal properties make it ideal for exercise wear, and because of its longer length, it allows yoga, bike rides, and hot, sunny days done with ease.

It’s modest cut makes it perfect for anyone, with wide straps and a medium-scoop neck. Bra straps are hidden, cleavage out of view, making it perfect for office wear, relaxing on the deck, or going out to your favourite dinner.

The light stitching near the bottom hem and around the sleeves and neck deliver a little monochromatic detail – just enough for that extra something – upon colours that correspond with nature itself. Earthy brown, green, and black provide a trio of choices to suit your basic style.

We also love their “Hangtagless” option, which means the piece of printed info usually attached to garments when they are purchased can be opted out of.  This makes for less manufacturing in the long run, for those who choose the option of going tag-free.

We love when companies practice what they employ through their product, and Dear Lil Devas is no different. They understand the low environmental impact of bamboo, because of its natural regrowth. They also ensure that all of their workers are involved with Fair Trade practices, meeting Oeko-Tex and ISO 14001 standards.

The bamboo yarn is derived from the cellulose of the bamboo, using an eco-friendly viscose process, similar to making paper. It’s then combined with 30% organic cotton yarn, and dyed with a  single jet-dyeing process to minimize any sort of impact, free of toxins and chemicals.

For a minimum time, Dear Lil’ Devas is offering ecoki readers a discount: upon checkout, enter DGBG1M to be entered upon checkout for 25% off your purchase!!! Offer expires September 30th, so act soon!

Splaff Flopps has been around since 1997, their early days devoted to a mission to create a comfortable pair of sandals developed from recycled materials. Since then, the line has grown to hit other needs, in the form of belts, bags, wallets, guitar straps, and wrist bands.

As veterans in the recycled goods field, designers Cliff Drill and Craig Wallace have continued to develop quality, hand-crafted products that hail out of Baja, California.

We here at Ecoki have had the ultimate pleasure of taking their products for a whirl, and truth be told, the integrity that they strive for in their products distinctly recognizable. This is what we think:

Footwear: The Lazy Boy Natural Flip Flop

– Women’s, Natural

The Lazy Boy is the original, their classic cut that was first developed those years ago. The sole is created from recycled car tires, with straps from leftover bicycle inner tubes. And for the foot bed? You’ve the pleasure of 100% recycled rubber and foam encased in an all natural hemp fabric cushioning every step.

Their website says that they are tested by surfers, so they aimed for sandals that were strong and comfortable, as well as waterproof, slip resistant, and odorless.

These claims, we’ve so far discovered, are more than accurate, but we’ve also discovered a few things that make the Lazy Boy stand out from your average flip flops.

Ease of drivability: Some flip flops offer little give in bending for the brake and the gas in the car, or they’re awkward to maneuver as you try to switch between the pedals. Splaff’s straps hug your foot, making the sandal move  easily with each shift.

Durability: The recycled materials and industrious hemp combine to create a durable piece of footwear. They are heavier than most flip flops, providing a shoe that is sure not to fall apart after a single summery season. And because of their design, we’re pretty sure that, if they slipped off, they wouldn’t get swept away while wading in the water.

Aesthetics: They look cool. They look really cool. In fact, the second we slipped them on, we felt a lot cooler.

So, perhaps we’ve tested them in the chillier weather, and we don’t live near the ocean. However if the Splaff folks want to send me out to Baja to test them out with a surfing lesson, I’ll happily comply.

Comes in Men’s (sizes 6-13) or Women’s (sizes 5-10), Black ($46) or Natural ($50).

Also available in two open-two styles, the Gladiator and Hipster.

Bag: The Bhoga Messenger Bag

Their Messenger Bag is not unlike their Flopps in its eco-friendly functionality. With plenty of room for a couple binders and a laptop, this is the perfect school solution; or opt to stuff it with your essentials to use as an everyday addition to your body.

It’s constructed from 14oz. hemp canvas and recycled inner tubes, but its durability doesn’t end there. It is also lined with regrind vinyl to keep it moisture-free, no matter where and when you use it. And it can fit an awful lot.

The bag comes adorned with a front zipper pocket, perfect to stash your quick access items, like sunglasses, cell phone, and wallet, while keeping them safe from slipping out when you’re on the run. Two clips keep the large front flap closed, with tons of room to fit all your needs. There’s also a second zipper pocket under the top flap for even more secure storage, and a centre divider on the inside to keep your stuff organized.

But while you’re staying hip, you’re staying sustainable, too, with a durable, earth-friendly and practical bag. The bag measures 14 inches in height, 14 inches across, and 6 inches wide, and comes attached to a 44-inch adjustable strap made from your last inner tube.

They’ve also recently attached a couple strap for your yoga mat on the bottom, but if lugging around a yoga mat isn’t your thing, no problem: they’re a small adornment that offer no hindrence or takes away from your, well, really cool bag.

Available in brown, black or olive green. $70

Belt: Splaff Belt

The Splaff Belt is made of 100% recycled bicycle inner tubes, but it doesn’t look like you just took apart your tires then wrapped it around your waist. Instead, the belt, lined with a natural hemp fabric, is a perfect addition to your wardrobe. We love our thick belt, dotted with grommets, perfectly moldable without the stiffness that some belts leave. The grommets add some extra flair, and the contrasted stitching provides that a little extra soething. It’s waste for your waist. Ingenious.

It’s available in two styles and widths: a thin 1.25″ or thicker 1.75”, in a plain or grommeted style, with a silver or brass buckle (the brass isn’t available for the grommeted belt).

Available in thin, thick, grommets or not, and brass or silver buckle. $24 and $28.

We have to say that we absolutely love Splaff’s goods, and we’re pretty convinced you will, too. (And if they want to take us up on our surfing lesson request, we’ll be sure to let you know).

The combined minds of Brooks Fuentes and Noel Javier came together to share their creativity with the world. With a BA in photography and graphic design experience (Noel), and a fashion and design-driven mind (Brooks), the two began to formulate an original, organic t-shirt line soon dubbed Oh Buggy.

We’ve had the opportunity to review and highlight an Oh Buggy tee, and we have to admit, it’s hard not to love them.

The 100% organic cotton men’s tee-shirt is extremely comfortable and soft to the touch, hanging comfortably with movement in all the right places. We love slim, but casual fit, and the added length at the bottom – perfect for those with long torsos or to cover unsightly visuals from pants hanging a little low. The shirt is a durably thick cotton; you know it’ll stay in tact for the long haul.

The tee is adorned with an owl, arm casted and in a sling, looking a little melancholy (and, we have to be honest, it makes you just really want to do something about it). Drawn on with low-impact dye, the monochromatic charcoal gray is topped with a simple black design, keeping it minimalist with a message.

We love that Oh Buggy uses 100% organic cotton, which we all know has a lower impact on the environment. This is because of the lack of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, which in turn, benefits the soil, water ways, and animals.

But that isn’t all that keeps Oh Buggy eco-friendly. They also are big believers in keeping their everyday lives sustainable, such from using renewable energy to driving a scooter (check out their green links for their favourite resources).

They also shipped their shirt in an envelope padded with recycled paper. Nothing more.

But it doesn’t end there; 1% of their profits go to local eco-organizations, too. And you won’t see a sweatshop in sight: these shirts hail from A.S. Tees, a union-based company made with  organic cotton both grown, then assembled, in the USA.

Brooks and Noel claim that they “hope people can see the goodness of [their] designs.”

Well, Brooks and Noel? We sure do.

Endangered Couture , a Canada-based environmentalist company, works towards this direction, bringing you sweatshop-free, eco-conscious, and certified organic cotton tee-shirts.

They’ve truly done their homework. Founder and head designer Tamara Danielle understands the wide range of issues to explore. “There isn’t enough education on endangered animals, ” she points out, “and it’s not wide knowledge that they are dying off mainly due to the loss of their natural habitat. However, hopefully with the green movement gaining in popularity, we will soon see all of our small efforts coming together enabling us to live sustainably on Earth.”

To call her effort “small” isn’t giving her enough credit. A portion of all her sales go to the  World Wildlife Fund ; they’re a part of the WWF’s crusaders program, so every t-shirt comes with special surprises from the international organization (read more about Tamara’s eco-conscious efforts here).

We had the chance to review one of the t-shirts from her line. The Panda tee features the message, “I eat bamboo, so can you” in bubbly, playful letters, reminding you how darn cute pandas really are – and how we should do our part in keeping them around.

It’s manufactured from 95% certified organic cotton, with 5% Lycra, with a breathable, comfortable fit with just a bit of stretch. We love the jersey cap sleep, and longer length, adding a little dimension to a casual fit, curving to fit your body in all the right places. The monochromatic scheme of soft and dark purples deliver an effective message, with a little feminine flair .

All her tees include a whimsical design with a serious message about the importance of conscious couture. Other slogans include “I like the way you peck” for the woodpecker and “I’ll show my stripes if you show me yours” for the tiger, cleverly catching your attention before bringing the serious message.

For upcoming collections, Tamara is also moving towards using other sustainable materials, such as hemp and bamboo. Because she opts to source local suppliers, its proven to be a difficult task where she lives. But she hopes that, as they become more mainstream, her next collection will feature them.

Coming soon: See how you can win a Panda tee!

We talked about DreamSacks in our article DreamSacks surrounds you in a good night’s sleep, touching on their uber eco-friendliness, and the awesome ways they give back to the planet. We’ve received the opportunity to surround ourselves in their bamboo-based clothing, and frankly, we’re delighted.

This two-piece pajama set combines a wide-strapped tank top with an empire waist, with gathered seams and a flattering cut. The reinforced bust adds a feeling of security, while the softness of bamboo makes you feel as free as you did in your youth. It’s modest cut allows it to double as day-wear, while still enhancing a smooth silhouette. It swings just past the hips, with a loose flow.

The pants are cropped a few inches above the ankle, and have a comfortable elastic waist. No buttons, zippers, or drawstrings to disrupt your sleep or add unneeded materials.

In addition to its silky smoothness, bamboo is hypoallergenic and  breathable, resulting in pure comfort all night long. Micro gaps and holds in the fabric allow it to wick moisture from the body, keeping your body in peak condition while you sleep. And since it is bamboo, it means they are pesticide-free and a renewable resource, that quickly grows once it’s harvested (ready within 5 years), and increasing used as clothing, paper, and even flooring.

The pajama set is made from 95% viscose from bamboo (basically, bamboo fibre), combining a durable, sustainable material with a luxurious softness. It’s delicate sheen flows over your body, and the remaining 5% spandex allows for just enough leverage for added comfort on any body.

DreamSacks and BambooDreams have received the Oeko-Tex certification, which screens for any harmful substances present in textiles. Oeko-Tex provides a guarantee in the safety of their fabrics and dyes, providing a little extra assurance of their planet-friendly items.

Caring for them is simple: gentle machine wash on cold with mild soap, and lay flat to dry. (Or, like us, a quick hand-wash and dry outside in a few moments).

Toronto-based company Truth Belts is owned by designer Renia Pruchnicki, who launched her very first belt designs back in 2001. Right from the get-go, Renia began with materials she was familiar with – and left the leather alone.

Lo’ and behold, her belts soon grew with popularity, and her reputation spread – and so did her product line.

Among her offerings are two categories of belts: Virtue and Vice. True to their names, the Virtue line aren’t leather look-a-likes and made with sustainable materials such as jute and hemp. The Vice belts are conscious clones that look and feel like leather itself – but made with polyurethane instead.

Their newest addition to their Vice belt line is the Angus belt. Built for both men and women, it’s slick enough for a suit, but casual enough for weekend wear.

Ecoki was given the opportunity to put the Angus to the test. We received the rich chocolate brown (it also comes in black), and the belt lives up to the leather-like name: alongside real leather belts, it was difficult to see a difference between the two versions.

It has a bit of a shine – not too much to make it flashy but just enough to give it some sheen – and doesn’t have that stiff, immovable feeling of a new purchase. And comparable to cheaper belts bought at your favourite retail stores? It doesn’t threaten to crack after a little wear and tear.

Two specific things we like most are the stitch size and the buckle. Having had belts in the past that have lost their stitching, we applauded their detail put into the manufacturing process, and the durability of the satin nickle buckle outshines many others in its high-quality design. (We also think that you could smash it against a window as a quick escape route, if ever need be. It’ll do the job just fine.)

“Truth” be told, It’s no surprise that Truth was named the “Best Leather Replacement Clothing Company in North America by Peta. With all of their other awesome duds – cuffs, tees, and necklaces – we think so, too.

Comfort may be the key to these body-loving clothes, but when you combine that with planet-friendly materials that come in beautiful colours and designs… Well, you know you have a product worth wearing every day in every way.

YOGO clothing is no exception, combining eco-friendly practices with fine-looking fabrics in a style to suit anyone. Ottawa-based designer Jo-Ann Oosterman first developed the line in 2001 when she wanted a comfortable pair of pants that were easy to care for, and free of any synthetic material.

Fast forward to 2008, where YOGO has greatly expanded, offering tops, skirts, shorts, and capris in addition to the original pants. In addition to breathable stretch cotton clothing, she also offers Eco-friendly fabrics, among them soy and bamboo. The eco-friendly fabrics fill the majority of her line, with only 2 of the 19 made from conventional cotton. Soy, bamboo, and other materials tally up the rest.

But as you browse, keep this in mind. Her website provides consumers a little advice:

“A Word of Caution: When you first put on your YOGO Soy and Bamboo clothing, you will either feel naked or as though you are wearing lingerie. When these fabrics first touch your skin, it may even feel taboo to wear them outside of your home. You’ll be happy to know the feeling of walking around in your undies will pass. Once you’ve experienced the liberation these fabrics provide, you’ll want to wear them all the time, in yoga class, at the gym, on your run and everywhere in between.”

Well, this intrigued  us at Ecoki; after all, nothing says comfort like walking around in our undies. Jo-Ann kindly gave us the opportunity to test out the Soy Capris and Bamboo Long Sleeved Stretch Top.

Soy Capris

You’d never realize the quality of soy until you wear it – these capris are soft and breathable, with just a hint of stretch, and a load of comfort. They naturally drape over your body, falling into the right places, regardless of your body type.

We tested them through a variety of activities – every day wear, yoga, fitness, and sleeping, and they stood up to the job, no matter what they were put through. The soft, breezy fabric was perfectly breathable while breaking a sweat, but didn’t cling or cause discomfort. Regardless of any yoga position I twisted myself into, they stayed in place, not once threatening to shimmy down my waist while performing a headstand, or exposing too much skin while folding forward.

Notable is the fabric’s ability to bounce back. After a few nights of sleeping in them, they were in perfect shape, not stretched into a size too large. We also threw them in the hamper, tossed a few clothes and towels over top, then pulled them out the next morning for yoga – and they lost the few wrinkles they had on the drive over.

So why soy? Her website tells us that these fibres are made from the excess from the soy food industry, and because the plant is easily renewable and the fibre biodegrades quickly, it has minimal eco-impact.

They come with a 3-inch waistband, adding a little extra style and comfort, to cater to those who prefer lower or higher waisted styles. They also are available with or without a slit in the back of the leg.

Available in: khaki green, black night, slate grey, cloud cream, cocoa brown, budding green
$72 with slits, $66 without slits. XS – XL.

Bamboo Long Sleeve Top

Chances are, bamboo is not one of the fabrics that readily makes its way into your wardrobe. Like soy, bamboo is super soft, sustainable, and beautiful to boot, offering a clean, almost sheen-like quality to it.

And like soy, bamboo is minimally harmful to the planet; because it grows quickly, it requires zero chemicals or irrigation, and can also quickly biodegrade.

The shirt falls over the body in the same way that the capris do, offering a satiny comfort that will take you through any activity. With its long sleeve, and wide neckline, it offers a little elegance combined with a functional piece of fashion. The sleeves are slightly belled, and left with raw hems, which give an added touch of natural simplicity. Notable are the sleeve lengths – as someone who personally struggles with finding shirts to fit my long arms, they brushed my wrists in a perfect fit (which is lucky for my lanky limbs).

It was also light and breathable enough to wear during a cooler morning at yoga, but its beautiful, pale hue lasted through my errands and the rest of the day.

66% Bamboo, 14% Organic Cotton, 14% Cotton, 6% Spandex; Available in Dusty Plum, Cloud Cream, Black Night, Cameo Pink, Mauve, Turquoise
$45, available XS-XL

Yogo also offers men’s yoga clothing, dresses, skirts, and yoga mat bags. Visit her website at www.yogo.ca for more information.
