Christmas wish list: Eco-friendly dyed denim

Tuesday, December 20, 2011

Dyed denim is a hot commodity this winter as stores fill their denim rooms with everything from electric blues to pink hues. 

While dyed denim is all the rage, dye processes can be harmful to the earth. As Christmas inches closer, I've put together a list of some great eco-friendly jean companies that are working hard to eliminate our carbon footprint left behind while keeping you looking eco-chic!
