Happy Earth Day, CARRA guys and girls! Today we celebrate our beautiful Earth. From the tallest mountains and the lush forests to the curves of the rivers and the depths of the ocean, this is our planet—something we must protect for future generations.
When it comes to a day like today, fashion may not be the first thing that comes to mind. When we’re out shopping, how many of us look at the materials of the clothes on the rack or how the store sources their products and material? Don’t worry, no judgement! How can we be focused on where our clothes come from at all times when we have so much already on our shoulders? And, to be honest, sustainable clothing can be more expensive than regular pieces!
However, today we encourage you to take a moment to think about sustainability in fashion. When we created CARRA Hosiery, creating sustainable products were at the top of our mind. We are dedicated to using the finest fabrics and an antimicrobial finish that inhibits the growth of bacteria on its products. This technology ensures a hygienic lifestyle when wearing our legwear that is both environmentally-friendly and safe—proving sustainable fashion can be FLY and AFFORDABLE!
You may be asking yourself: Well, what fabrics should I be looking for when I’m browsing online or in the store? Here’s a few to keep an eye out for:
Organic Cotton
Recycled Cotton
Organic Hemp
Organic Linen
Organic Bamboo (Bamboo Linen)
Sustainable Semi-Synthetic Fabrics (mostly vegan)

Take today to celebrate our Earth, bask in the sun, and think about how you can add some environment-friendly pieces to your collection. And remember, whether you’re recycling, picking up trash, or planting a new tree: sustainability is sexy!
