The Bite:
Does your style need servicing? Pull into Larkspur's Embodies Boutique for a full fashion tune-up, including duds and adornments from more than 2 dozen sustainably minded designers. Along with Biter faves Josh Jakus (reclaimed wool purses) and John Patrick Organic (organic cotton tanks), the shop's got a slew of summer arrivals; including Helena De Natalio's Marin-made Tracey belts crafted from scrap leather, and SF-designer Josh Podoll's Winged Dress made with vegetable-dyed organic cotton and biodegradable buttons. Vrrrooom.       
Why Care?: 
Purchasing sustainable fashions minimizes manufacturing and cuts back on pesticides used to grow nonorganic cotton.      
Postshopping, drop in nearby Table Cafe for a dosa made with seasonal ingredients.      
Wanna Try: 
Embodies Boutique, 1127 Magnolia Ave., Larkspur (415-461-6462). Winged Dress, $174; Josh Jakus wool clutch, $64.

Cocktail Fact

SF's Luscious Garage is the Bay's only female owned and operated auto body shop.

 
 
 

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 SF Biters buy two belts made from scrap leather rather the new stuff, we'll keep the weight of more than 12 Smart Cars in leather waste outta landfills.
