Cute, right?

The designers go to India twice a year to personally instruct their sewers and provide training, as well as help finance and incubate social programs such as micro-lending and health care initiatives.

Silk dresses!

And the best part is – you can shop online – you don’t need to go hunting in some obscure/avant-garde Parisian boutique – although, let’s be honest, any excuse to go to Paris….

Eco/ethical Parisian chic finally exists!

I'll take two, please.
