Hot Styles by Bodkin in Brooklyn, New York

Having lived in Brooklyn for part of my life I can appreciate the creativity that grows there. Bodkin is a good example of a budding environmentally friendly clothing company in New York that specializes in:

organic cotton, wool, recycled-PET nylon, cellulosic fibers, and kapok
cute and contemporary styles and designs
eco vegetable dyed garments
the principles of sustainability as they relate to fashion

Bodkin recently won an Ecco Domani Sustainable Design Award for their specialization in upcycling materials and patterning innovative cuts. We like the way they marry simple elegance with earth minded design.
