From Jessa
I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself on the new blog. I am the founder and owner of Pivot – Chicago’s first boutique devoted to eco-fashion. Prior to opening Pivot I was working as a journalist, which led me to discover eco-friendly fabrics and the designers who were committed to using them to create beautiful, inspired fashion. I decided to open Pivot to promote the growth of the industry in Chicago and beyond. I hope that people walk into Pivot and immediately realize that they don’t need to sacrifice anything in terms of style, fashion or comfort to have a more conscious wardrobe.
One of the best parts about Pivot is that I’m able to meet so many interesting people and share resources, information and ideas with visitors daily. And I’m also lucky enough to be able to connect with people outside the store. Last weekend I attended Chicago’s Green Festival and spoke about my participation in the Chicago Conservation Corps (C3) program. It was a wonderful experience and if you didn’t make it to the festival this year, I hope you’re able to check it out next time.
So, make your way over to Pivot soon and say hello! We’re excited to meet you!
