Our Favorites

We are huge fans of the Soft Touch Collection by Organic Basics.This ethically made clothing line consists of bras, underwear, t-shirts, pants, and shorts that are perfect for summertime outfits. We recommend mixing and matching items for comfortable and cute loungewear sets. The ultra-soft and silky collection is made from TENCEL™ Lyocell — a recycled wood pulp fiber. TENCEL™ Lyocell is an eco-friendly fiber made from responsibly sourced wood pulp. The wood pulp is dissolved in a closed-loop process with a non-toxic organic solvent, then the solution is forced through tiny holes in order to create a magical biodegradable fiber that feels softer and lighter than cotton.
