Material Girl Goes Green

Little girls in their mother’s pearls … and darling dresses with a conscience? CHAKRA for Children, a
new eco-friendly clothing line for girls available in sizes 2, 4 and 6, is bound to become a top priority on your shopping list. Think flowy tunics, billowy bottoms and more—all sustainably produced. Made in a small village on the Southern coast of India from hand-woven fabrics, the sweet and soulful pieces are hand-dyed and blockprinted, reviving the ancient Indian fabric decorating technique of kalamkari, which has been passed down from generation to generation among Indian families centuries. CHAKRA employs their through a non-profit organization that trains underprivileged Indian women in the art of sewing and needlework. Responsibly manufactured, the prints are sophisticated and the styles are versatile, transcending seasons and maximizing wearability. Not surprisingly, this unique line (based right here in Dallas) is distinctive, modern and youthful—and sure to make any stylish little lady stand out in a crowd.
