Chic style meets sustainability at è bella

In the March/April Green Issue of Mountain Living, we take you behind the scenes of eco-friendly textile company è bella in Boulder, Colorado—a chic and cheery space brimming with pillows and rugs in modern patterns and bold colors. Not only are è bella’s home goods gorgeous, but they’re made of renewable, biodegradable alpaca yarn and can be colored with 100-percent organic dye, all through a low-carbon operation. Founder and visionary Nicole Linton dreams up the designs, then partners with weavers in Peru to manufacture the goods—stimulating their local economy and providing stable work. It’s all good. And green.
