Nothing feels better than stepping out of the shower and into an extra soft bathrobe. At Stylish Organic Family Living, we have plenty of designs to choose from, ranging from soft and plushy to sleek and sexy.
Whether you're treating yourself or searching for the perfect gift, you can't go wrong with one of our eco-friendly options.
My personal favourite is the EcoluxLace Kimono Wrap because it combines both style and comfort. Made from a luxurious blend of viscose from organic bamboo and spandex with just a hint of feminine lace, you're sure to feel fabulous in this cozy cover-up.
Or, if you're looking for something to get you through the looming colder months, we also carry plushy bamboo and organic combed cotton robes in a variety of eye-pleasing colours. These robes are rumoured to be so comfortable that you'll never want to take yours off!

My mom recently purchased a pair of Jonano’s Page Boy Shorts from Stylish Organic Family Living and she’s been living in them ever since! She loves them because they look great and because they’re so comfortable. Made from a blend of machine washable viscose from organic bamboo and organic cotton spandex, the fabric has a nice stretch to it making these shorts the perfect choice for virtually any activity. Yoga, biking, running errands, or just plain relaxing, Jonano’s Page Boy Shorts are the way to go.
My mother is really the perfect person to put them to the test, too, because she is one of the most active and dynamic people I know!

The loose elastic bottom is great for quick changes and can even double as a bubble hem dress. Cute, practical, eco-friendly and makes a great baby shower gift!

If your list of ‘green’ to do items includes purchasing ‘green’ office furniture, Stylish Organic Family Living has you covered! Choose from our selection of office furnishings by Legaré Sustainable, produced from Moso bamboo.
Amazingly, this type of bamboo regenerates over 100 feet in height in less than 6 months, so it’s very sustainable in addition to being very strong. Furthermore, Legaré Sustainable has an eco-friendly 'carbonized' finish which is produced by a non-toxic kiln process, giving their furniture a rich golden-amber color.
