Organic Stereo

If the terms “progressive” and “eco-friendly” were in third grade, they’d walk around holding hands and spend their entire recess period together talking about alternative fuel sources. Even though they’re not school aged-children they still go hand-in-hand, as they relate perfectly to Organic Stereo, the new apparel brand from Brighton-based designer Marie Rendina. After spending the last 12 years honing her craft across the English Channel, freelancing for the likes of Mambo, Fat Face, and Criminal, Rendina struck out on her own to create clothing that reflected the quirky yet relaxed lifestyle of her adoptive British backdrop that was also environmentally conscious. Her collection utilizes components such as chemical free dyes, organic cotton and buttons made of recycled paper, to assemble attire that maintains an amicable relationship with mother nature. Organic Stereo also deserves extra ethics points for belonging to 1% for The Planet, an organization that donates a percent of their gross revenue before tax to charitable causes around the world.
