Welcome to the rain skirt community!
Mon, 10/08/2007 - 21:44 — LibbyRain skirt wearers are not every day people. They are the folks who realize that life goes on, in spite of (and sometimes because of) the weather. They're the people who won't let a little drizzle ruin a perfect day. They play, they walk, they hike and bike--contented, dry, and fabulously fashionable.

Green vs. Sustainable: Eco-Transparency
Sun, 10/19/2008 - 13:40 — Libby
As of January 2009, our adult garments will be made from 100% recycled, recyclable materials. We will post more details about these sustainable fabrics in the weeks to come.
During the development phase of our business, we worried about what impact our products would have on the environment. Sure, we comforted our souls with the idea that we were doing all we could to be green by promoting a more sustainable paradigm—promoting public transit, using “wasted” fabric from other companies to make our skirts, shipping without extra packaging, and making durable products—but that was never enough.
We wanted to do better, and knew it was possible.
Responsible Clothing Care: Project Laundry List
Sun, 09/28/2008 - 15:08 — LibbyEmergent Designs is happy to announce that 1% of our sales revenues will be donated to Project Laundry List. This group of dedicated citizens advocates for our right to dry clothing outside using nature’s free, safe, and effective nuclear power plant: the sun. Line drying not only preserves the life of clothing, it reduces the demand for domestic energy production which in turn decreases our demands on the natural world.
