There are lots of reasons to purchase handmade clothing. Whether its for the eco-friendly aspect or to get a carefully crafted item. Supporting locally hand made items will always be the way to go.

Eco friendly clothing doesn't have to be organic to be green, just the fact that it isn't produced in a factory that pollutes our planet is enough to put handmade clothing in the green category.

Handmade clothing in particular is eco friendly because it isn't mass produced like most of the clothing in main stream corporate stores. Lots of these companies have their manufacturing plants in other countries such as China and India, and pay their workers slave wages and heavily pollute the towns where their manufacturing plants are located.

When you purchase handmade clothing from a local seamstress, work at home mom or small town fashion designer, you are ensured top quality and personal care to each handmade item that you purchase. Each piece is carefully handcrafted and each design is well thought out. No other piece is exactly the same, and therefore when you buy from a handmade artisan, you are truly supporting the arts while being eco-friendly.
