Eco-luxury Infant Clothes Competition: Carrie Jekogian for LolaBabiez Organics

Designer Carrie specializes in chic hand-embellished organic baby clothing. She customizes onto organic cotton and/or recycled felt. That makes each design unique, (just like real babies), and it doesn’t hurt that garments are worn and tested on her son or friends’ daughters.

Styles are hand-chosen to pass Carrie’s hip, green, and fair trade status loving energy. Most tops and onesies can be matched with coordinating flared yoga pants. The baby clothing ranges from size 0 to 4T.

Not embellished, but adorable, is Carrie’s eco-chic one-piece dress. It’s a for-sure pleaser. Little girls enjoy a 100% organic cotton wrap-around pattern that is lined and closes with two handmade buttons in front. The one piece makes diaper changing easy. A pair of Babylegs are available to complete the outfit. Carrie produces from her own Maryland sewing room and offers her collections to retailers, plus individuals.

Check out the site and also find Carrie’s handmade baby bedding and blankets from organic cotton. She says the blankets are especially ultra soft and luxurious.

I am Delia, d/b/a Chic Eco on www.ChicEco.com, and established myself as an eco fashion guru by learning "who makes what in the world of environmental fashion and design."

Enjoy reading some of my freelance writing about environmental design, fashion and art -- from both consumer and supplier perspectives. You may notice I focus most on individual eco designers, movers and shakers.

From sustainable fashion apparel to paint and flooring, discoveries are a rush. I get my kicks this way. I also offer sales representation of earth-friendly designed products for wholesale buyers. Retailers may take advantage of my services with factory-direct pricing. Spend less time sourcing and prevent green-washed purchases!

My other forte is connecting suppliers with business-to-business tools. Aspects of my business vary with consulting services while I'm proud to be the aide that embraces unique and innovative gigs.

I'm originally a Kentucky Blue Grass gal who relocated to Maui early 2006 and the tropical Puna District of Big Island, Hawaii late 2007. Walk the talk is my motto here.

Early 2009 I constructed a yurt home office in a semi-urban setting on a tiny lot. My water comes from the sky, contained in a catchment that's not likely to dry in this rain forest. The electric is designed for solar conversion. I grow about 30% of my food organically, compost, and recycle to the hilt. Permaculture with a full eco system is my gardening style.

In fact, gardening is my ultimate joy. I seek gigs like design, weeding and planting between other jobs. My love is Hawai'i which has more climate zones than any state. There are frequent earthquakes here, typically under a 3.0 magnitude, and I happen to dig the vibrations. It's a wonderful simple life in paradise. As I grow older and wiser, I become more and more grateful.
