Nau.com

Nau is a company that started out pretty strong, then lost some funding along the way. They're based here in Portland, Oregon and they employ some sexy designs and sustainable practices.

At first, they were their own thing. Then, on the brink of closing, they teamed up with Horny Toad (whose name I hate, by the way...shudder) and are making a comeback.

They donate money to organizations around the world from every single garment that you buy. The first year that they were open, they donated around $250,000 dollars to organizations like Heifer International and other charities.

They also practice green shipping, which is really cool. They try to keep carbon down with the trucks they use, and they also try to cut corners by shipping the items to you from the warehouse instead of from the store to save even more energy.

Their fabrics are expensive, lovely, and are all totally sustainably harvested from what I can tell. This company is really cool. Check out the "Thought Kitchen" for more info and some interesting discussions.
