![]() Traveling to Nepal, where are clothing is manufactured, has also impacted the way we do business. This is why we are dedicated to treading as lightly as possible on our glorious planet and leaving the smallest footprint we can. We have seen first-hand the natural wonders our Earth has to offer and we have unfortunately also seen how irresponsible business practices can damage these unique, exquisite places. How has traveling influenced business-related practices? Exploring natural beauties around the world while traveling has been central to our commitment to sustainable business practices.Kate and Henry, Synergy’s co-owners, are the parents of two beautiful children, and they are dedicated to ensuring that the natural wonders of the world they have been lucky enough to enjoy remain in great condition for their children. Why is sustainability important to Synergy? Sustainability to us means making business and life choices with the Earth’s future in mind.Why the name Synergy? Synergy was created in the spirit of adventure with the vision of being a synergy of both Eastern and Western design influences.Always striving to be mindful and conscious in every facet of business, Synergy produces sustainable and organic fair trade clothing that lets you look and feel your best. That’s a refreshing change at a time when so many companies resort to abhorrent labor conditions.I had the pleasure of interviewing Synergy Organic Clothing, a company that creates fashion forward clothing and yoga apparel for women. They pay an above-average wage to all of the workers along their supply chain, from their PR and marketing team to the workers who cut and sew the garments. They choose only low-impact dyes (read more about why earth-friendly dyes are important), and they treat their workers properly. Like the name suggests, they use only organic cotton – no dirty conventional cotton on their garments! And their ethics don’t stop with choosing fabric that’s good for people and the planet. I love the cut and style of Synergy’s clothing, but what pushes them over the top for me is the company’s strong ethics. Synergy Organic Clothing: The Down and Dirty Companies like Synergy create heirloom pieces: high-quality garments with classic lines that are meant to be part of your wardrobes for years, not for one season. It warps our idea of what clothing should cost and how much clothing we need. I’d link you to the dress, but it’s been so long since I bought it that it’s not part of their line anymore. ![]() I’ve had a peacock dress of theirs since 2011, and it’s still in perfect shape. Synergy Organic Clothing stands up to wear and tear, so you may pay more up front, but you also won’t be replacing the clothing that you buy from them after just one year or even two or three. Before you decide that you can’t afford their clothing, though, think about how long that $5 t-shirt lasts before pilling and falling apart in the wash. ![]() You might get a little bit of sticker shock when you first head over to Synergy’s site if you’re used to shopping for clothing at big box stores. You can see both dresses in the collage at the top of the page. I recently bought another striped dress from them, and they do more of those slimming on-the-bias stripes. The Belted Dress has a bias-cut skirt, and the diagonal lines are super flattering. Stripes don’t tend to be the most flattering, and Synergy is doing some great things with stripes. The fabric is so comfortable, I was able to set up the party and chase toddlers all day without worrying about my dress at all.
