I have a Vaute Couture coat! My husband got me the blue El for my birthday. It's so warm and so perfect. I can finally be stylish, ethical and warm all at once. Love VC.

I just read your article about "eco-friendly" winter gear. The glove made from bamboo, are they made from "bamboo rayon" or "mechanically processed bamboo"?

Eco friendly consumers should be aware of the recent FTC ruling, available online, that not all bamboo fabric is alike. Search online key terms like gloves and "mechanically processed bamboo" and decide for yourself, as this FTC ruling has become controversial. The FTC declared that Bamboo rayon is no different from any other rayon, requiring caustic chemicals. Mechanically processed bamboo, in contrast, retains the beneficial properties of bamboo.

Hold on a second — not all bamboo yarn is created equal. For truly eco-friendly yarn it must be mechanically processed. Getglovd.com offers mechanically processed, not rayon gloves.
