Do you want to be fashion-forward and eco friendly? The shops on South Broadway have got you covered!

You can help support your local fashion industry by shopping at equally eco-friendly and fashionable shops such as La Lovely Vintage, Sewn, Decade and more all located on South Broadway in Denver.

La Lovely Vintage follows the premise of adorable clothes that are also kind to the earth. Fashion trends historically have a tendency to recycle themselves, so vintage is a great way to stay fashionable. The owner of La Lovely Vintage, Tara Lavato, travels all over the United States finding cute vintage pieces for her boutique. So not only can you find hand picked trendy clothing, you are helping reuse and recycle by purchasing something vintage.
Sewn is another adorable boutique that gives you a variety of eco friendly and trendy options. Sewn consists of three main clothing divisions, hand made, upcycled, and vintage. Each of these sections helps reduce waste and support mother nature. Sewn also sells vintage McCalls patterns if you are inspired to create your own handmade items!
Aside from boutiques, Fancy Tiger Crafts contributes to the communal idea of fashion forward eco friendly creations. If you are feeling inspired by all the fashion on the block The Fancy tiger sells a variety of fabrics, from prints to solids to patterns. By creating handmade clothes you can select your own fabrics and create your own designs ensuring you have the cutest, most unique pieces in your neighborhood. Making handmade items helps reduce the fashion industry’s waste as well as it helps to relieve inhumane working conditions for workers in fast fashion.
