Men’s Eco Boutique Now Open!

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

Men, too often, feel slighted when it comes to eco fashion.  Us ladies get to enjoy closets-full of organic cotton tees and yoga clothes, cozy bamboo bathrobes, delicious recycled cashmere sweaters, luxurious eco-fiber dresses, and so much more.

Connect imageWell, men.  Suffer no more!   Forward-thinking, Chicago-based sustainable retailer, Connect, has launched its first ever e-commerce site C by Connect; the first and only online men’s store with an environmentally and socially responsible focus.

Log on to C by Connect and you’ll find eco brands Nau, Holden Outerwear, Topo Ranch, Coal, Icebreaker, LiViTy, Patagonia Footwear, The Stronghold, and others.  Connect’s private label, SideCar, which uses reclaimed and surplus fabrics and organic cotton, is also available, making the popular Chicago line available for the first time worldwide.  In addition to the men’s fashions, C by Connect includes a “gifts for her” section, as well as sustainable home furnishings.  It’s a one-stop-shop for the forward-thinking individual.

Jonathan Shaun, a Connect Co-Founder and friend of mine, says, “We realized men didn’t have an authentic and conscious online experience to shop.  It’s our honor to finally offer men a place to go where they can find functional and design-driven brands that are progressive and socially responsible,”

Every brand that Connect and their partners work with goes through a rigorous selection process to ensure that it aligns with their values and vision. The Connect manifesto is based on a “not-just-for-profit” method honoring the triple bottom line: planet, people, profit. C by Connect donates 3% of all profits to its Community Investment Portfolio that consists of local, national, and international NGOs.

Sustainable Features of C by Connect:

  • Carbon ZERO bicycle messenger delivery within Chicago city limits
  • Carbon neutral shipping (national and international)
  • All brands are environmental, fair trade, and ethically produced and sold
  • Connect is dedicated to marketing ethical start-up brands made in the U.S.A.
  • Renewable energy-based web hosting
