Question from B
I have not found a fabric i like via any of the natural couch companies. How can I source my own non toxic fabrics? Do you have any suggestions for interior designers who can help me design a non toxic home? I am in MA. thank you.

I don’t know of a designer in Massachusetts but if you do find one that claims to design healthy homes I would check the credentials that qualify them to do that kind of work. Ideally, I would look for someone with a BBNC certification from the Building Biology Institute.
Eco-terric.com is located in California but they offer nation-wide design services. The best non-toxic fabric resource is Two Sisters Ecotextiles. They have a huge selection of very safe fabrics.
I am also available to consult with a local designer.
We should be looking at hemp textiles, China way ahead in this regard. We need to buy more items made of hemp -the transition will only happen if it is consumer driven!
