Sustainable Style on State Street
By Jeff Katris | Dec 3, 2008
Nothing croons "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" quite like a throwback Singer.
You'll find revived apparel at Tuff Soul, just down the block from our State Street espresso bar. They feature Vintage, Modern, and new Organic Cotton collections. Alterations are performed here on site.
All items are washed in biodegradable soap before resale. Pieces are stylish, prices are great.
Spruce your look with Tuff Soul threads.
Accessorize!
Shoes glorious shoes.
Owner Autumn Newell explains that Tuff Soul's mission is to teach people how to create a sustainable wardrobe with new and used elements. "We love our planet and we love fashion and style."
Housed in a renovated 1890's building, Tuff Soul brings the spirit of revitalization to Ithaca's West End neighborhood.
Even the interior of Tuff Soul is "recycled," using remnant oak flooring and salvaged materials for structure and design. Radiant heat is built into the floors.
Read more on the Tuff Soul web site. I hereby conclude this shout-out to a good community business.
