Among the fast-fading myths of eco-friendly clothing are that you’ll end up looking like a hippie and possibly worse yet having to wear clothes that aren’t comfortable. No more are clothes that feel like burlap sacks and have the tie-dyed look what should come to mind when thinking of organic clothing; it can now be eco-friendly fashion with clothes from companies like The White Pebble.

Nolana and I have been buying organic foods for a long time, and we started to search for other products made with health, quality and the environment in mind. In our research, we discovered that cotton is one of the most widely produced crops in the world and is typically treated with a significant amount of chemicals. We also found that buying clothing made with organic or sustainable materials can be confusing. We started The White Pebble to educate the public and to provide a convenient, quality shopping experience for people who are interested in buying organic clothes they can wear for work, school and play.

There are companies like Allergy Buyers Club which test and carry a wide variety of products designed to help minimize pollutants and allergens in the home. During some of their research, they found that bedding can be highly problematic because the fabric of the sheets and pillowcases are next to your skin all night. This finding coincides with one of the reasons Jeremy and Nolana Whisnant founded The White Pebble; the skin is the largest and most absorbent organ in the human body, and care should be exercised when deciding what to put up against it

“We cannot expect all people to sacrifice style or quality to make environmentally-friendly, healthy choices when it comes to their clothing,” says Jeremy Whisnant, Co-Owner of The White Pebble.
