NEWBURYPORT, MA--(Marketwire - May 28, 2008) - The
Studio -- www.nbptstudio.com -- announced today that it is celebrating
its one-year anniversary in its newly expanded "Green" location. The Studio
is the first shop on Boston's North Shore to dedicate itself to providing
distinctive eco-friendly fashion
from contemporary independent designers. The shop works directly with
small production houses and artists that carry unique items that are not
available anywhere else in the area, with many lines produced exclusively
for the shop. The Studio is dedicated to providing fashion-forward
eco-friendly lines. This means clothing is made with organic materials or
made by designers who employ sustainable production practices offering
customers a truly unique shopping experience combining great looks and
environmental responsibility. The Studio features popular green fashion brands such as Prairie Underground, Mohop Sandals, and
hard to find indie brands such as Orla Kiely, Foley and Corinna,
Modaspia and Myth and Ritual.
Jewelry is a featured accessory in the shop including shop owner Kim
Gobbi's own line "Jonesy's Jewels," which is produced on site from a pallet
of vividly colored gemstones. The Studio exclusively carries jewelry that
is handmade and continually strives to support individual artisans who work
to produce jewelry in an environmentally responsible way. Highlighted
among the jewelry is Rust Belt, Figs and Ginger and Kathy Bransfield.
In addition to the updated brick and mortar store front, The Studio
features a newly launched e-commerce site that highlights the shop's ever
changing array of green goods by showcasing merchandise in 4 categories
(wear, carry, embellish, adorn). The web-site keeps the shop's theme of
limited edition by only offering six items per category and the inventory
changes frequently. Also, Kim Gobbi's popular blog is incorporated within
the website via a blog feed, so visitor's can view "all that's new at the
shop" right from the home page. Best of all, shipping for all web
purchases is free, 24/7 - 365.
