Sweet Skins

In 2004, eco-fashion pioneer Mira Fannin started Sweet Skins Clothing in her garage in Eugene, Oregon. With designs that are accessible and wearable by women of all shapes, sizes and color, the label has been picked up by green boutiques all across North America.

I met Mira earlier this year, and I felt instant comfort. She is such a warm person, and her desire to create sustainable fashion is very inspiring, especially in recent days where people are beginning to question the waste that fast fashion creates.

She focuses on classics that doesn’t go out of style. I could talk forever about how amazing she is but I will let you watch her interview so you can hear directly from her. :) Enjoy! can sustain them by reimagining our relationship with nature.

 

Interview with Mira

Sweet Skins is a minority women owned eco-clothing Company. Designer and mother of four, Mira Fannin started the company over ten years ago selling at the Saturday Market in Eugene Oregon. There was such a demand for the classic simplicity and wearability of the designs that the obvious choice was to keep going. Sweet Skins has grown into a business that is both ecologically sound and ethically run, using the latest and greatest in ecologically sound fibers and conscious clothing manufacturing; fabrics like eco-fleece, hemp, organic cottons and wool for their low impact processing and superior texture and quality. Dyes are low impact and everything from fabric scraps to paper products are recycled or reused. As business continues to grow, Sweet Skins is committed to maintaining strong roots to the community, the health of the planet, and to pave the road for a new more conscious business model.
