OQOQO: Lululemon's Line of Sustainable Clothing
by Erin Courtenay - Madison, WI on 09.16.05
Lululemon, the popular maker of comfy, flattering yoga clothing has launched a special sustainable line called OQOQO (pronounced OhKoKo). They are committed to having every garment produced to be at least 75% natural, organic or sustainable and they are working towards a vision that every piece created will be produced from 100% renewable resources. The sustainably sourced textiles are made of bamboo, soy, organic cotton or hemp and dyed with non-azo dyes. The garments are made in Vancouver, Canada. Thank you for the tip Andreea!
they also have a very hot line of soy based clothes. lululemon is also the first canadian fashion line to become popular in canada first and then very popular in asia.

Their clothing materials might be okay but it doesn't seem that their business practices are ("child labout is okay").
