We are hitting the road from Jul 22 – July 31 (going to the San Juan Islands) so will be winding down our office during that time. All orders placed between the 22 and 31st will be shipped on August 2 and 3. We will be responding to emails as often as possible.
Thanks for your patience and hope everyone has a great week!

Please welcome Kai Jones to our Jute and Jackfruit team!
As many of you may be aware, I recently gave birth to a baby boy (6 weeks ago this week): Kai Jones. Kai was born May 31 at MGH in Boston after a lengthy 16 hour back labor (most painful experience of my life), but well worth it when Kai popped out. After coming home from the hospital we’ve been nursing, burping, bouncing and sleeping (well he has) ever since – thus the quietness on our blogging.
Sleep has been very elusive, as I know it is for most, but happily Kai has started sleeping 5-6 hour stretches at night in the past week now so I (and my husband) are re-gaining some sanity (and energy) and it feels great.
Thanks to all for your patience while we wade through this exciting, challenging, sleep-deprived time!

Simply visit Boston Mamas and make a comment before midnight EST on July 12, 2010 and you will be eligible to win! Winner will be chosen by Random.org.

Thursday night, May 27, 2010 Jute and Jackfruit participated in the Green Difference Awards in Cambridge, MA as part of the Project Green Schools initiative. Miss Massachusetts, Amanda Kelly organized an eco-fashion show for the evening with eco-friendly, stylish fashions, and Jute and Jackfruit presented the core organic, sustainable and ethical fashion collections for the evening’s show.
We had a great time working with all the runway models (pictured below)– all of whom are Miss Massachusetts candidates for 2010 (competition starting in a few weeks). Above is a little peak of the runway show, which included Kelly Lane, Sita and Prairie Underground, as well as handbags by Nahui Ollin and Escama. Held at Genzyme Corporations Atrium in Kendall Square. A beautiful venue, set to “green-inspired” rock and roll (pictured above)— such as the song “Turn Off the Lights”, the event was a blast. Stay tuned for more pics of the event on our blog and Facebook page.
