Trash-tastic
Boa Organic Clothing
One man’s trash is another man’s treasure.
A new line of clothing, Boa only uses 100% organic, eco-friendly cotton and dye in its designs, and strongly believes in recycling. Seray and Sena, the duo behind the label, are like a breath of fresh air into the usually ‘unaesthetic’ style that comes to mind when talking about ‘green wear’ (i.e. potato sack-like dresses and hemp shoes).
Their designs include sweatshirts, short dresses, pants, basic tees and even capes with quirky illustrations: two young women talking, a woman holding a fish, or a near-anatomical drawing of a heart (over where your real one should be). And a particular favourite: ‘Smokin’—available in jet black or natural.
There’s also something for ‘The Boy’. Get him the humorous Dino t-shirt blurping out a speech bubble and watch him wear it with pride.
No ‘The Boy’ yet? Dancing in Babylon in such original designs, it won’t be long before a stallion spots you and spurs forward.
Boa Organic Clothing. Available at Lazy (Yeniçarşı Cad., 9/a, Galatasaray. 0212 252 3055), Atölye Mariposa (Şimşirci Sok., Cihangir. 0212 249 0493), and Second Chance (Bebek Bostan Sok., 7, Bebek. 0212 265 0751). Go to boastudio.org to see the styles.
