			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With so many niche markets cropping up in the eco-friendly fashion industry, sometimes we want a company that will give us our goods for our everyday wear.<span id="more-4949"></span></p>
<p><a href="http://www.htnaturals.com">HTNaturals</a> delivers just that, with its eco-friendly line that&#8217;s created “for the people”.</p>
<p>Their must-have wardrobe basics are designed from organic textiles, utilizing a variety of natural and recycled fibres. With certified and organic fabrics, they ensure that they are grown pesticide and herbicide free, and are <a href="http://www.skal.nl/">Skal</a> certified. These types of products also reduce or eliminate use of carbon, energy and pollution, use less water, and are often renewable.</p>
<p>Among these are our favourite materials, and its not hard to understand why. <strong>Bamboo</strong> is a soft and luxurious fabric, fast-growing and renewable, resistant to disease, and has a breathability that paramounts any other alternatives. <strong>Soy</strong>, which they dub as a “vegetable cashmere” is soft, easy to care for, and because it absorbs dye with ease, it can easily use less &#8211; thereby reducing the amount used to produce it.</p>
<p><strong>Organic cotton</strong>, one of the most popular of eco-friendly alternatives, is one we&#8217;ve discussed before; the conventional version is one of the most pesticide-ridden crops worldwide, but the organic alternative stays chemical-free. <strong>Hemp</strong>, a favourite among our foodstuffs, too, requires no pesticides or chemicals, renews readily, and has a strength and durability that surpasses the rest. They also utilize<strong> recycled polyester</strong> (also known as polyethylene terephthalate or PET), the same that is used in pop bottles. Their strength adds stability for the aforementioned fibres.</p>
<p>But it isn&#8217;t just the fabrics that <a href="http://www.htnaturals.com">HTNaturals</a> ensures are a better alternative; they also use <strong>non-azo dyes</strong>, the least toxic dyes available, <strong>nickel-free</strong> zippers, and <strong>recycled polyester</strong> tape.  And then it goes further with their bags, hangtags, catalogs and other printed material all made from recycled materials. Oh, and they use wind-powered computers, and a carbon-neutral company car.</p>
<p>At this point, its quite possible that it couldn&#8217;t get better. <a href="http://www.htnaturals.com">HTNaturals</a> surely is the epitome of “green” companies, practicing each step that they preach. But then it indeed <em>does</em> get better, when we actually see what they develop.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve had the chance to review their clothing – and we love them just as much as we love the company.</p>
<h3><a href="http://ecoki.com/wp-content/uploads/htnaturals-skirt.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4955 alignright" style="border: 35px solid white;" title="htnaturals-skirt" src="http://ecoki.com/wp-content/uploads/htnaturals-skirt-228x300.jpg" alt="htnaturals-skirt" width="130" height="171" /></a></h3>
<h3>Women&#8217;s Foldover skirt</h3>
<p>Perfect for everyday wear with a little flair, this mid-length skirt drops to just above the knees in a comfortable combination of organic cotton, soy and spandex. The small amount of spandex delivers just enough stretch for added comfort, whether you&#8217;re lounging on the couch, doing a Hatha yoga class, or running to the grocery store.</p>
<p>We especially love the foldover waistband, a flattering design for any body with extra comfort for days that you need it. The 3-inch slits on each side give a feminine touch – and can easily be dressed up with stilettos and a cute top.</p>
<h3>Women&#8217;s V-Neck Tee</h3>
<h3><a href="http://ecoki.com/wp-content/uploads/htnaturals-vneck1.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4957" title="htnaturals-vneck1" src="http://ecoki.com/wp-content/uploads/htnaturals-vneck1-300x300.jpg" alt="htnaturals-vneck1" width="205" height="205" /></a></h3>
<p>Silky smooth bamboo plays first fiddle in this v-neck top with extra touches that set it apart. The gathered neckline draws attention to a simple, but pretty, detail, complimented by a thick trim that complements your features, without showing too much. The classic fit drapes your body to fit your curves and enhance your figure.</p>
<p>The combination of bamboo with organic cotton and spandex is not only comfortable, but gives a bit of a stretch that gracefully falls in all the right places, sewn for a perfect fit.</p>
<p>The cap sleeves give a feminine finish, and the bright, rich colour possibilities deliver the best choice to fit your mood.</p>
<p>After perusing their clothing, take a look around their <strong>other info on their website </strong>which features more green ideas, with cool contests, a customer of the month, and ways to become a sustainable company or home like they are striving to be. (<a href="http://www.htnaturals.com/sustainability.htm">read more</a>)</p>
<p>We&#8217;re excited to feature <a href="http://www.htnaturals.com">HTNaturals</a>, as well as their parent company, <a href="http://www.naturallyadvanced.com/s/Home.asp">Naturally Advanced Technologies,</a> which is striving towards issues revolving around hemp and other fibres and its transformation into soft cloth. Check out the details <a href="http://www.naturallyadvanced.com/s/Home.asp">here</a>.</p>
<p>Going green is one thing. Making the effort to revamp your wardrobe is another. But harnessing a completely green company – one that has <strong>100% planet-friendly practices</strong> – is another. And for that, <a href="http://www.htnaturals.com">HTNaturals</a> is not only one of the best options, but also delivers high-quality, comfort, and fashionable essentials to take a step into sustainable style.</p>
