And Your Finalists Are…

Green Hug is a 100% sustainable e-commerce clothing company that uses 100% recycled and organic materials and we plants 7 trees for each item sold. In their first year, they offered garments made of organic cotton, Tencel®, bamboo, post-consumer recycled polyester, and post-consumer organic cotton.

Joey Ro is a new line of “instagrammable” mix and match accessories for pets and their people. The Joey Ro collar is the centerpiece of the product line, much like a Pandora bracelet. Its patent-pending design allows accessories including bow ties and bandanas (+ more in the future) to attach directly to the inside of the collar, ensuring they stay in place and do not irritate the pup (like many velcro-style bow ties often will). Each of the pet accessories have matching human counterparts in the same print patterns, including headbands, scarves, human bow ties, keychains, and Apple watch bands – with more to come!

Mary Claret is a contemporary women’s apparel brand based in Austin, Texas. They design apparel products that flatter a variety of body types through the use of generous silhouettes and flattering fabrics. They design a range of apparel products that fit women’s daily needs from career to casual lifestyles. Their product line includes luxury sleepwear, adjustable wrap skirts, blouses, and small accessory items.

Swayy is a clothing aggregator that creates curated shopping experiences. It’s never been easier to buy clothes online and have them delivered straight to your doorstep. However, because there are so many options, finding the right thing has never been more overwhelming. Many women shop by occasion – not by garment type – and retailers don’t reflect this. Swayy offers much-needed curation with a website that aggregates clothing from across the web and sorts items by the occasion you’re shopping for. Customers can also save money by renting clothes instead of buying them, allowing women to refresh their wardrobe while decreasing their environmental footprint that is an inherent consequence of fast fashion.
