ECOBOUTIQUO
With a large selection of clothes made from recycled materials, Ecotobiquo lets environmentally conscious Lawrencians wear what they preach. Located at 13 E.Eighth St., the store sells women's fashions, ranging from T-shirts and dresses to purses. Most of the items in the store are created using things like old records, license plates and clothes picked up at yard sales and thrift shops. Some items, like some of the more complicated dresses, are made up of more than a dozen pieces of clothing.
Most of the clothes in the store don't look like anything you would find in your typical clothing shop. Owner Loni Hosking says you can get a bit of an eclectic rock star look going with how different many of the clothes are compared to what most people wear. Prices range from about $15 for miniskirts to $160 or more for some of the more elaborate dresses.
