ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
Organic fashion

Advertiser Staff and News Services

Chemical-free cotton and organic clothing is becoming a new trend in eco-friendly fashion. People who choose to go green now have cute design choices like clothing by the Twice Shy company, exclusively at 'Umeke Market, 4400 Kalaniana'ole Hwy. in Kahala.

"The organic cotton is a softer cotton, which falls nicely on the body," says Debbie Yamaguchi, the buyer of the organic clothing line.

The line features funky, colorful, graphic designs that vary over the seasons, from unicorns to machine guns.

Twice Shy prices range from $45 to $81 at 'Umeke Market, 739-2990 or www.umekemarket.com.
