Adventuring Down Main st: Twigg & Hottie

I love finding stores that sell local designer's clothes/jewelry. Twigg & Hottie at 3671 Main Street Offers one-of-a-kind/small run designs with prices that reflect that. While a lot of their clothes are priced a bit in the highend, there are lots of their clothes that are quite reasonable. Shirts upwards of $60-80, and a few hats for $45-50.

Very small, busy store. When I was in there, lots of people were flowing in and out of the store. I did look at a few tags, for what fabrics the designers were using, many were recycled fabrics or some just said "made from eco-friendly materials", but didn't specify if it was recycled or organic or what. I may have just missed another tag, but the ones that were easily accessible didn't say.

Finally! Organic, Sustainable & Local Clothing!

I have yet to find a place in Vancouver that has a better selection of organic and sustainable clothing from a variety of brands than Organix in granville island.

Am so glad they finally moved to a larger space in Granville island, now located at 1524 Duranleau Street- with lots more products. (I just picked up a nice recycled Wool Jacket for winter by Grace & Cello, a no-sweat shop canadian company based out of Montreal-- am SUPER pleased with)

Always a great experience walking into Organix: friendly, helpful atmosphere.

Large selection of Sustainable/Organic fabrics: Organic Cotton, Soy, Hemp, Bamboo clothing (my fav!) and beautiful Bamboo Towels by Shoo-Foo!- extremely soft, and absorbent- (Can use one towel for two people!) I've picked up two bath towels, and a few hand and face clothes and been very happy with. I purchased the undyed natural coloured towels, but they also have black tea dyed, a dark blue, and light green coloured version.
