Amazing things happen when cultures collide. Wa (Japan) meets Africa and you get Wafrica. The silk kimono is as old as Japan, now, thanks to designer Serge Mouangue, you get to think out of the box. Cotton kimonos. Isn't it just beautiful beyond belief?

Bronwyn Lowenthal has been knitting for years--we first met her at London Fashion Week where she had her vintage scarves and hand-knit sweaters and dresses on display. She makes use of traditional handicrafts--hand-knitting, crochet, hand-embroidery and hand-stitching in all of her pieces. Then she put out a book on knitting which was stylish and easy enough for beginners to take the leap. She has always delivered her orders by bicycle.

Kromer: The Original Working Man's Winter Hat
I've had an original navy blue wool "Kromer Blizzard Cap" since I bought it in a used clothing store back in the 1970's. It's the perfect winter hat: made of natural materials - principally wool and cotton - and thoughtfully designed. My Kromer never itched my ears or made my head feel crawly (like some wool hats do), because of the full soft cotton lining. The wool is pre-shrunken, so the fit lasts. Another Kromer design hallmark is the convertible wrap-around ear flap, which slides up and down without removing the cap.
Who could resist a face like that! So cute. Or his tee-shirt that says " I give a hoot". They are both, baby and tee, courtesy of Inhabitot, TreeHugger's favourite new baby design website. The shirt is made out of 100% organic cotton, printed by hand with eco-friendly, water-based inks. It features their mascot, the green owl, and has a nice green message for the world.
