Boutique of the week – body politic

Yay! Today is the inaugural segment we are calling “Boutique of the Week.” Each Monday you will get to read a guest blog by a magnifeco boutique owner – highlighting their philosophy, their stock, and why you should bookmark them. We love to support designers and producers – but we also want to support the boutiques that share our values and make a business of it! So, without further ado…

Sustainable shop body politic, located in beautiful Vancouver, B.C., carries the hottest designers in eco-fashion from Canada and the U.S., such as Feral Childe, Josh Podoll, She-Bible, Dagg & Stacey, Bahar Shahpar, Lav & Kush and Noir Bonbon. With these contemporary and fashion forward lines, body politic is proof that you need not sacrifice style to wear environmentally conscious clothing. body politic is also setting a new standard for engineering a greener future in retail: not only are the items sold made responsibly, but the store itself is as well with energy efficient lighting and repurposed antique furnishings.  Owner Nicole Ritchie-Oseen’s mission for body politic is simple,  “sustainable design, limitless style.”
