Alterna Boutique

Alterna Boutique is an online eco-fashion store which offers a variety of work and casual clothing for men and women, as well as clothing for babies. The clothes are made from a variety of environmentally-friendly fabrics such as organic cotton, bamboo, soy, and hemp. Bamboo, soy and hemp are alternative fabrics which are increasing in popularity. Bamboo is softer than cotton, naturally antibacterial, and an environmentally-friendly and sustainable crop as it is a fast growing weed. Soy fabric is a new and exciting eco-friendly fabric made from a by-product of soybean oil production. It is a sustainable textile fiber made from renewable and biodegradable resources. As for hemp, the fabric is stronger than cotton and naturally resistant to UV rays. Hemp crops are environmentally-friendly because they can be grown without pesticides or herbicides, they barely need any irrigation and help clean the soil. Some of the designers featured at Alterna Boutique include HTnaturals, Grace and Cello, NKI, Nixxi and Sckoon.
