Avita Eco-Chic Guilt Free Recycled Cashmere

Amanda Shi claims the credit behind this eco-friendly high fashion line. Comprised of sweaters, dresses, skirts, shirts, tank tops, “indulging customers in high fashion and social awareness” by using sustainable and recycled materials.

Based out of L.A. the clothing line Avita also uses bamboo based fabrics and organic cottons. Avita is in the process of forming he avitaNETWORK of eco minded designers linking their ideas to their markets and bringing textile manufacturers to those interested in using sustainable and earth friendly materials.

The cashmere used for the recycled materials is actually byproduct from cashmere yarn spinning facilities (it would be quite difficult to collect used sweaters in the quantity needed to make and sell a cloths line). The excess from the spinning process is sold to Avita and actually contains some wool fibers, so isn’t 100% cashmere, but it is totally recycled!

About the Author:

Doug is in perpetual motion and a self-proclaimed adventure junkie, that has had a longtime love affair with the great outdoors.

“I love being a part of the active world. The stuff that blows my hair back is adventure (all shapes and sizes), photography, mountaineering, Muay Thai, and seeing natural beauty in all its forms. The living earth is the framework on which I build my life and free time. My ideal trip would be BASE jumping at Sotano de Las Golandrinas in Mexico (closest I could come to skydiving through the jungle!). I work towards keeping it real, green, and healthy. ”

Doug is the co-founder of LiveOAK, although he says he didn’t know what a blog was until a couple months after he started.

    I love these clothing styles! It makes me so happy to hear about more recycled material clothing lines. Is the Avita line only available in L.A.?

    Thank you for the great post!
