f: food & fashion: Schone: Maternity Wear That Makes a Difference
April 25th, 2008. Written By Connie Wu.For expectant mothers, it’s hard enough to find stylish, flattering and comfortable maternity clothing for those nine months of ice-cream-and-pickle-eating pregnancy. That’s why Schone Maternity is a true standout—cute, chic and comfy maternity clothing that is also eco-friendly and produced under fair labor standards.
“Schone” (pronounced like “shone”) is Dutch for “Clean Beauty”, which is indicative of the clothing line’s mission to produce clothing that is made from environmentally-friendly fabrics, under fair labor practices in the United States. Founded by FIT alum Rebecca Schoneveld Cheek in 2006, the clothing line uses only certified organic or sustainable materials, which materials are derived from easily renewable crops that are harvested without chemicals.
The maternity line’s simple but stylish silhouettes include tailored trousers, adorable cropped jackets, and feminine jersey blouses made with ultra-soft and comfortable organic cotton, bamboo, and hemp fabrics. The clothing is designed to be wearable even pre- & post-pregnancy to extend the life of the garments.
In addition, Schone’s recycling program allows you to return gently used Schone maternity clothing to be cleaned, repaired, and donated to a local organization that assists young mothers. In return, the donor receives a hand-woven, hand-dyed silk scarf crafted by Laotian artisans as a special thank you.
