We make our mark without leaving one.  The company has strict processes, but at the end of the day we feel good about our company and what it stands for.  We are a random band of family and friends that are passionate about the environment. Our company is a great pathway for us to get our message out and help others with the same mission.  That about sums it up.

INDIE PEACE is 100% organic cotton, which means that the cotton does not go through chemical processing as 100% cotton does. This allows the threads to remain intact for two times as many washes as regular cotton. This means that INDIE’s clothing offers quality, allowing the consumer’s clothing to not have as much give and stretching due to wear and washes. INDIE PEACE only uses water based prints, which allows for INDIE’s clothing to not have pasty printing that can peel off from old age or too many washes. INDIE PEACE offers style and variety for the consumer with various designs to choose from. INDIE is exclusively USA made and 100% designed by our founder Lawton Ursrey.

The 2012 collection is available now.

This fall season is embracing sustainability as many world-class fashion gurus promote trends of the past with an added modern twist.

What does sustainability have anything to do with the current season’s top fashion headlines?

Remarkably, many of September’s must-have items can actually be found at local thrift stores or can be made by ‘upcycling’ articles of clothing t

hat you already own. Upcycling is an emerging new trend in itself; the term refers to re-using fashion items that have been sitting in your closet by revamping them and de

signing your own, one-of-a-kind trendy pieces. In other words, creativity and sustainability are joining forces to deliver the latest fashion trends this fall.

This season’s hottest items seem to have been generated with sustainability in mind. Many of fall’s top picks revolve around a vintage theme that can work well wit

h sustainable and upcycled fashion. Some of our favorites include:

1. The Cropped Tee. A popular trend in the 80′s, the cropped tee has now become an eminent reoccurring trend of 2010. Cropped tees can be made from any plain T-shirt and personalized with your own individual style. I usually cut a few inches off of the bottom hem line and cut an inch off of the collar hem to make an ‘off the shoulder’ neckline.
2. The Boyfriend Blazer. A staple in every fashionista’s closet, the popular boyfriend blazer can transform any ordinary outfit into a very sophisticated look. Any small, slim fit men’s blazer can be tailored to fit a woman’s frame by a professional. Take a vintage blazer from home or from a thrift store to your local tailor and have it reduced to your measurements. Keep the length and straight edges for a ‘boyfriend’ fit.
3. Statement  Jewelry. Bold, vintage jewelry is the trendiest kind at the moment. Layer antiqued metal chains, pendant necklaces and charm necklaces over a simple top to make your vintage creation the focal point of your look. Large cuffs and vintage watches are also some of the most wanted accessories of this season.
4. Vintage handbags. Visit different thrift shops in search of that perfect vintage handbag. My favorite kind right now are small handbags with a crossover chain strap. These were hot items of the 90′s and can be found at many consignment shops and thrift stores.
5. Clogs. Almost every fashion magazine issue this month has featured the most talked about shoe style for Fall 2010: the clog. Clogs were everywhere in the 90′s, and many can be found today at thrift stores across the country. If you find a pair in your size that you love, personalize them by adding studs or other decorative elements. Also keep in mind that shoe makers can sometimes alter the sizing and fit of the shoe.

These five fashion items are some of our favorite amongst many vintage styles today. While you practice sustainable fashion remember to be creative and add your own personalized style to your ‘upcycled’ garments and accessories.
