You’ll notice that I tend to favor little eco boutiques here. Partially that’s because the service is so personal, and partially it’s because I have a soft spot for the little guys. But sometimes it can be reassuring to shop at bigger, more familiar stores, especially if you’re new to green shopping or even online shopping. If it’s your first foray into eco fashion, you can feel confident about customer service, shipping and returns when it comes to a familiar name (although I have to point out again that I’ve had absolutely amazing service from the small eco boutiques I’ve ordered from.) So here are three of my favorite larger retail spots with good eco friendly selections — check them out, and if you like going green, try some of the smaller shops to the right next time!

Barneys - You’ll have to wade through a ton of (lovely) organic beauty and skincare, but Barneys’ organic section is worth it for the fashion. The highlight, of course, is the exclusive Loomstate for Barneys Green, but you’ll also find a few choice pieces like a white organic dress by Philip Lim and a classy pair of organic Earnest Sewns.

Nordstrom - No, they’re not exactly fashion forward. But with brick and mortar stores in many neighborhoods and historically fantastic customer service, I’d call Nordstrom an ideal choice for the nervous first time eco shopper. Their offerings range from the amazingly luxurious Viridis Luxe brand to the inexpensive series of adorably printed Tilden organic cotton boyshorts.

Shopbop - So what if their models tend towards the brain-washed alien look. Shopbop is fantastic about taking the kind of photos that leave no surprises when their clothing ends up on your doorstep. Then there’s the free shipping thing — fabulous. They carry hard to find organic tees and dresses from C&C California, trendy organic denim from Sling & Stone, and a series of cute printed tees from ZOOEY.
