Green Party! Eco Fashion Site Ecouterre.com Celebrates Its Launch
By Elizabeth Thompson
Eco-fashion site Ecouterre.com had all the green bases covered at their
launch party last week, from the setting at cozy Lower East Side
boutique, Kaight, which carries environmentally friendly brands, to the
name tags guests were asked to put on their glasses. "This way, you'll remember to
re-use your glass," the bartender in the corner assured wary attendees waiting in line for organic huckleberry vodka cocktails. Partygoers
snacked on vegan raspberry jam cookies that were apparently delicious
-- the tray needed to be re-filled an hour into the party -- and milled
among cases displaying recycled metal earrings and hand-painted
lockets. Some guests
prepped for winter, perusing the store's coats, chunky Alpacan scarves
and hats, and cute, wool 60s-inspired shift dresses from Feral Childe
(Ecouterre.com founder Jill Fehrenbacher and editor Jasmin Malik Chua also
recommend winter items from Stewart & Brown and Rebe ). Less
practical partygoers, however, were pre-occupied with a handmade Andean
Collection necklace made from ivory palm that was up for grabs in a
raffle. "I don't need that, but I want it" one guest assured her friend
in line for a second round of Huckleberry lemonades.
