One of the most difficult things about buying eco-friendly is coming to terms with the cost… While you may be able to purchase adorable cheap duds just about anywhere you go, you’re not nearly as likely to find the same sort of deals on clothing that is sustainably-created, made with eco-friendly materials, or guaranteed ethically-sound. Thankfully Shopflick.com has just announced their Summer Staple Sale! Starting tomorrow, Shopflick is offering select pieces from 4 designers for as much as 85% off, including some great eco-friendly basics from Sublet Clothing (check out my previous post about their lates Spring 2009 lookbook to refresh your memory) and Zova LA.

Most eco-friendly clothing lines have a pretty typical story for why they got started. Sublet Clothing is more unique. After responding to a Craigslist ad for a sublet apartment, Inessah met her new roommate Tara. Discovering they had a lot in common, the two-week sublet turned into three months. Two years after, they remained friends, and after the experience of both having worked more “traditional” jobs, the two missed the feeling of spontaneous community and creative development that sublet living had fostered. Over lunch together one day they dreamed up their clothing line and decided to launch Sublet Clothing.

Two years later, after having worked traditional careers, Tara and Inessah missed the spontaneous community, independence and creativity they felt when subletting. So over lunch one day, they decided they would create their own permanent sublet through Sublet Clothing.

The company just released a sneak preview of their Spring 2009 collection, which focuses on bright, cheery colors that pop and beautiful, easy-to-wear silhouettes. After covering New York Fashion Week, it’s a nice change to see a smiling, happy model associated with a clothing brand. If the cute clothes themselves don’t make you feel the same way, at least they’ve got that going for them! (Although I can’t imagine why you wouldn’t want to get your hands on the Caitlin dress or Charlie blouse, you crazy!)
