Press Release Summary = Toggery by Kate D\'Arcy is an eco-friendly contemporary
collection that doesn\'t sacrifice fashion for modern consumers who care about their
impact on the environment!

Press Release Body = New York, NY - Toggery by Kate D'Arcy is a contemporary
collection of knits that, in addition to offering every woman's essential shapes and
styles, is comprised of all 100% organic and sustainable fabrics. The cotton and
bamboo fibers used are certified organic - using no synthetic fertilizers or
pesticides. Each piece is colored with low impact reactive dyes that use less
energy, less chemicals and produce less waste than natural or vegetable dyes.

Designer Kate D'Arcy's mission is to offer a collection of knits using eco-friendly
practices that is still at the forefront of contemporary trends so that the everyday
consumer can become socially responsible. The debut collection features staple
layering tanks, throw-on dresses, a convertible pashmina, a structured bolero and
other fall trend pieces. "I\'ve created a lifestyle brand that enables women to make
socially and environmentally conscious decisions about clothing, while still being
fashion forward and trend oriented. Everyone needs to do their part but it doesn't
need to be a sacrifice." says Kate.

Everything from the yarn to the finished garment of the Toggery by Kate D'Arcy
collection is produced in a socially compliant and quality certified production
facility in Pennsylvania that practices vertical manufacturing. The result is
reliable production, consistent quality and a reduced environmental footprint.

Kate D'Arcy has a background in communications which led her to various professional
endeavors in personal shopping, styling and special events. As a personal shopper
and a devotee to basic fits that you can mix and match and accessorize, she found
herself looking at various women's closets and seeing that they were always lacking
just a couple basic pieces that would help everything else make sense. Growing up in
a local family-run business, Kate firmly believes in doing business in your backyard
to help the community thrive and grow. Toggery by Kate D'Arcy is her fashionable and
functional answer.

Toggery by Kate D'Arcy is sustainable clothing for a lux life, retailing from $29 -
$115 (wholesaling from $12.50-$45).
