Greer's OC

It was love at first sight when we saw REUSE denim—online. The fashion-forward, eco-friendly collection of denim practically fell into our laps on the eve of Earth week, so we tried them on soon after. And get this, they’re super comfortable, great styles ranging from classic 5-pocket to ultra-skinny, all made from 80% recycled fabrics.

Whereas the fashion industry is inherently disposable, REUSE are committed to contributing to a cleaner, greener Earth: eliminated excess packaging, using eco-friendly dyes, and the least amount of new materials possible. REUSE eco-friendly jeans priced from 85 to $95, shorts and skirts sell for $75. Denim enthusiasts will appreciate the chic wash treatments, handcrafted detailing and signature touches.

You can find them in OC at Hobie in Dana Point, Laguna Beach and San Clemente; Variant in San Clemente; Angel Wings in San Clemente. Bliss in San Clemente. Julie Beach Wear in San Clemente. Frou Frou in Laguna Beach. KC Diamonds Apparel in Laguna Niguel. Model Citizen in Huntington Beach. 866.652.4705
