Thanks to a recent mention in Body+Soul Magazine, Maine-based independent clothing line Brook There is riding a new wave of attention. Having just released the Fall 2008 collection, brand founder Brook DeLorme still creates each piece personally. Clean yet femininely thoughtful design is not the only thing that draws fans to the brand—every piece is made from sustainable fabrics, including: organic wool, soy, bamboo, organic cotton and tencel.
Available at select locations in the US, you can also get a piece of Brook’s line via her online shop or pick up a sample-sized item via her Etsy store. Last but not least—the burning question: why “Brook There?” “Brook is my first name and there reminds me of the idea of ‘someplace else’,” says Brook herself.
