Beauty & Style
Just because you care about the environment, doesn’t mean the contents of your closet should be limited to hippie Birkenstocks and hemp ponchos.
Summer Bowen founded BTC Elements in March 2006 for that very reason. Frustrated with the lack of eco-friendly yet stylish clothing, she opened her own online store, stocked with incredibly fashion-forward pieces such as from the perfect weekend hoodie dress to a beautiful evening cocktail coat. According to Bowen, the e-commerce website was intentionally designed as a “discovery process”: customers notice how great the clothes look before they even realize they are “green” and ethically made.
Everything sold on BTC Elements is made with sustainable materials and manufactured in the USA, or screened and approved by the Fair Trade Federation. BTC Elements also utilizes eco-friendly business practices: products are shipped with recycled and re-used materials, including recycled paper bags made from leftover industrial printing paper, and the company buys carbon offsets through a company called NativeEnergy.
