Holy Cow Goes to San Francisco!
Nov 18th
Hey! Thanks to all of our very green friends in San Francisco for stopping by the Holy Cow booth and sharing the weekend with us at the San Fran Green Festival, America’s Largest Sustainability Event. Over the weekend we were able to share Holy Cow organic clothing with over 120,000 visitors to the show. We’re coming to a city near you. Check the Green Festival website for the next party close to you.
This was the scene Saturday and Sunday.
Spencer and Emily take a break from the show to enjoy the ride.
Is Your T-Shirt Poisoning the Planet?
Nov 10th
You probably didn’t know it but the t-shirt you’re wearing right now likely took a devastating toll on the environment.
To create one t-shirt made from conventionally grown cotton, 1/3 pound of agrochemicals is poured into the Earth. It may also have been created in a sweatshop with subpar working conditions and printed with PVC (nasty plastic) based inks. Feeling guilty? Well, you can’t change if you don’t know, and now you know. Just think about it the next time you’re ready to buy clothing and make an easy choice to help change our planet. Holy Cow clothing is sweatshop free, printed with water-based inks and keeps these nasty chemicals out of our planet and out of your clothing. Cheers to that!
Blue Steel and More from the Holy Cow Photo Shoot
Oct 28th
We had a great photo shoot here in Minneapolis this weekend at Lake Harriet. Thanks to our friend Liz for the Sunday morning shots. We took some Zoolander quality photos of the crew in Holy Cow organic zip hoodies and tees. Above Spencer and Emily race to hypothermia in our Peace on Earth and Eco-Warrior tees.
Emily drops magnum in the Bee Green tee and Holy Cow Organic Zip Hoodie.
It turned out we didn’t need the wind fan for Blair’s hair. She rocked the Recycle Love tee under the Organic Zip. See more from the day at the Holy Cow facebook page.
Justin and Abby’s Top 6 for Chicago Green Clothing
Oct 20th
After making quite a few Whole Foods and green boutique store visits, Abby and I caught up for a beverage in Lincoln Park and pulled together a list of the top places in the Chicago area to find sustainable clothing:
1) A Cooler Planet. An eco-lifestyle store with sustainable, organic, fair trade home and clothing options. I’d say owners Heidi Bailey and Krista White have done a great job with branding and identity.
2) Little Green Baby. Pesticide free clothing for the little ones.
3) Green Genes. Organic, recycled and re-purposed gear in the Andersonville neighborhood.
4) Asinamali of Evanston. Very cool, unexpected Women’s clothing, accessories.
5) Whole Foods Market. A variety of eco-fashion from great lines including Green Label, Indigenous Designs and Maggie’s Organics.
6) Pivot Boutique. The place in Chicago for chic eco-wear. A bit hard to find but worth the search.
Green Festival. The After Party.
May 20th
The Chicago Green Festival was a blast but the after party but we’ve never seen anything like the after party. Here Dominic, Abby and Lynn grab some organic beverages before hitting the dance floor.
Abby and Lynn get down.
I met some new friends. Wow, can’t wait for San Fran.
