And the Winner is....

Earlier this month, we told you about our "Show us your Moon!" contest, where Mountains of the Moon lovers everywhere could play show and tell with their favorite MotM designs for a chance to win a $100 MotM Gift Certificate. We were showered with funny, beautiful and inspiring entires from MotM fans all over the world. Picking a winner from all of the amazing entries wasn't easy, but it sure did make us feel warm and fuzzy to see just how many people really heart our clothing! Yay! That's right, yay! In the end, we could only choose one. (Virtual drumroll.............)

Congratulations Karen Felmley of Bellingham, Washington! We were touched by Karen's sweet/hilarious portrait of two lovely soon-to-be-mamas who, despite contractions, still realized the importance of looking eco-fabulous in their sustainable hemp/tencel Arya Skirts. (Check out the totally adorable photo above). Karen's Entry:

MOM = Mountains of (the) Moon or Mom!

I have ten Arya Skirts, in two sizes! Thank you for making a great skirt that so many body shapes can wear gracefully.

Congrats Karen! And remember dear readers, you are always in eco-fashion in MotM, whether you're at work, out on the town, or being the most stylish sustaina-mom on the block!

Fall into Autumn... The Eco-Conscious Way

Early September is a very busy time at Mountains of the Moon. Not only are we rushing to finish up our spring collection designs so we can get line sheets sent to stores for spring pre-ordering (yes, it's already next spring in the fashion world!), we're up to our knees in tagging, organizing, folding and boxing up all of the fall orders that our stores placed back in May. (Side note: unlike most traditional clothing lines, we refuse to bag each garment and use brand new boxes when shipping. Waste = bad. We reuse boxes and although we fold very nicely, we skip those wasteful plastic bags). And of course, we're working hard to get these new fall designs on the website for all of you.

We've already starting adding a new color here, a new style there on the Mountains of the Moon website, but our goal is to have all of it up for your viewing/shopping pleasure in the next couple of weeks. In the meantime, the sneak peak photo above shows the Sophie Pants in black (55% hemp, 45% tencel, bamboo button, low-impact dyed) with the Brooke Top in shitake (55% hemp, 45% organic cotton, low-impact dyed). I haven't taken my Sophie Pants off in days, by the way. And I'm proud of it.
