Eco-Biz Review:

In a new interview series, HappyHippie.com will take a look at what inspires our eco-retailers to do what they do, and information on their business.

This week's featured Eco-Biz is: Intergalactic Rose

In a time when the majority of our clothing is mass produced over-seas, in deplorabe conditions, we give a happy nod to home-grown business Intergalatic Rose. Each inspired piece is true art, and crafted with care. Read on for the bio:

Intergalactic Rose is small family business, that got started when owner, Kate, had a beautiful baby girl in 2002. Having already been sewing patchwork clothing like so many other mamas and papas on the lot, she shifted focus from making enough money to get from show to show, to making enough money to support her daughter.

Over the past 5 years, she has been able to work at home and raise her daughter, with lots of support from her rockin' family and wonderful customers. Each piece of clothing is made one at a time, with lots of love and great attention to detail. Drawing inspiration from music, nature, friends & family, Kate incorporates color therapy into her work, and uses high quality & sustainable fabrics to insure that you are buying a peice of clothing that will be with you through many journeys.

Kate says, "Its really all about family -- our little family and our larger family on earth. I love what I do, and love sharing it with other people. Our mission at Intergalactic Rose is to share the beauty we see in the world, one piece of clothing at a time. We really believe in the dream, and your support helps our family lead the life we love and teach the children well."
