Made in China! That is NOT Green!

Nau may have great designs but their clothes are made in China. I wrote to them about this and I got a condescending letter back with the usual corporate blather about how they monitor labor practices, how they can't find people here in the US to make the clothes, ad nauseum.

Re-designed from the ground up

I've read a lot about Nau and their business philosophy. The company is actually based in Portland, OR, but I'm fortunate enough to live close to their Boulder store. Nau basically questioned every standard business practice as they went about creating the company. From the beginning, they've focused on sustainability and fair business practices.

Nau also prioritized designing unique, functional, stylish clothing that looks great and feels great to wear.

Some highlights:
- For every purchase, a portion of your purchase goes to one of their "Partners for Change", and you get to choose which one.
- Almost all of the fabrics in their clothing are made from either organic cotton, corn-based fabrics, or fabrics made from recycled plastic
- Nau's retail stores are also built with sustainable materials.

I've bought a couple of things from Nau, and I've been very happy with them!

Like Patagonia but More Stylish

This is a new clothing line based in Portland that makes casual clothing using recycled and environmentally friendly fabrics. I recently ordered some yoga pants and t-shirts and love the fabrics and style. The only downside is that they are a bit pricey.

They also have a great website, check it out at Nau.com

Eco-Rich (eco-reesh) - Making Postive Enviro-Impact Nau

Nau, youv'e done it with eco-brilliance: (1) building a state-of-the-art website, (2) designing handsome sexy eco-fashions for the young, svelte (and rich), (3) environmental stewards par excellence, (4) publishing the 'thought kitchen" blog and the "collective", a huge 'wow' factor for me!

Nau cares about the future

I respect Nau because it's business model promotes sustainability. Unfortunately, its prices are a little more upscale than I can afford on my current salary.

cool & sustainable clothing company

I just bought a pair of pants from Nau's new store in Boulder. I had seen their ads and visited their website before the store opened here in Boulder. I admit that I was predisposed to liking the stuff because the company was built from scratch to promote positive change. Fortunately I did not need to force myself to like the clothing. I expected some variation of outdoor status quo but instead found new and cool lifestyle clothing.
So far I have only purchased pants that fit and feel great. I am sure I will be buying more and feeling good about supporting a company that is doing the right thing inside and out.

Nau makes me sustainably beautiful

Comfortable clothes that make me look great and feel good! 5% of every sale goes to charity, the "partners for change" and the clothes have beautiful tailored cuts that can be worn to a business meeting or biking!
