Seattle's best eco boutique, Drizzle + Shine is now stocking Astor + Orion ethical jewelry.
"Drizzle & Shine is an eco-boutique that grew out of a style blog. While blogging about fashion, boutique owner Jean White learned about major ethical concerns in the fashion industry. The more she looked for ethical options, the more she wished there was one place in Seattle to find clothes by companies whose values she shares."

I recently had the pleasure of spending some time with Seattle fashion blogger, Lashonya Hamilton. Initially I got to know her through her amazing Instagram feed, @style.in.pnw where she focuses on showing her audience how to have fun with current trends and while dispelling the myth that you need to be a size 2 to look incredible. Continue reading to learn her secrets.

It's a simple idea: Waste and pollution are designed out of the system, leaving only “resources” which are kept in a loop or returned to the earth in a regenerative way.

The older I get the less I care about what others think. Still it's easy to let doubts creep into your mind. Glad I stopped listening to those nagging thoughts, picked up my camera, and just started inviting others to create with me.

Last time we talked about how building and keeping a team is important. Today we are going to talk about environmental controls. I believe it’s what set this factory on a different path.

Last post we talked about how we as a small start up brand were able to vet and choose a certified factory to produce our jewelry. And naturally it lets to the question, “Why are large brands are still using factories with substandard working conditions and unfair wages?”

Even with the best intentions you can’t wave a magic wand and make a fair system that produces great quality. It’s a process that everyone needs to keep showing up for. The first step in making a great product is having a fair and safe workplace.
This is where things get complicated especially when you are doing business between countries. Who decides what is fair? Who decides what is safe?

So much about the world is unfair. The amount of waste, the way women are treated…it’s all so unjust. But it doesn't have to be that way. It’s time for a revolution in the fashion industry.
From our recycled materials to the factories we partner with, we're proud to be a part of that revolution.

Do you know who made your jewelry?
The fashion industry is one that is traditionally secretive and not-so-friendly to it’s workers. It's about time to change that. It’s time for a Fashion Revolution.
