Guess what? These are ecofriendly, completely non-toxic polishes in amazing shades. PRITI nail polishes do not contain known carcinogens like toluene, formaldehyde and DBP (Dibutyl Phthalate). They are also cruelty free and safe to use by mothers to be, which is kind of a hard find when it comes to nail polishes! We’re only selling these in our shop, not online, so stop by our Brooklyn shop and take a look.
skinnyskinny is located at : 129b Roebling St., Brooklyn, NY

Gramercy Bag in blue
This gorgeous bag is one of Allison Teich McGowan’s amazing creations. You can see them all at her store or on her site. All of her bags are made from ecofriendly materials (like organic cotton, hemp, etc.), or like this one, it’s made from reclaimed/repurposed deerskin. Plus, they are so so pretty and they are made in Brooklyn!

very rudimentary design for t-shirt
We’ve heard that some of our fans and customers are talented on the design front. We’ve also heard that some are not, but that’s alright. We’re pretty sure the not-so-creative ones among us are good for laughs, getting coffee, what-not… My point is that everyone has their respective strengths, but for now we are seeking out creativity. Anyway, we will soon be getting some new (ie, AWESOME) t-shirts printed and thought we’d like to make a contest of it all. These tees will be organic cotton and printed with eco-friendly inks.
So, what’s in it for you, the creative participant? Well, the winning design will get $150, plus $50 in skinnyskinny products. And if that’s not enough, you’ll also get the fame, glory, and skinnyskinny adoration.
The specs:
Preferrably the designs would be for 1-2 color printing, but if it’s like the best design ever, then we’ll print 3 color.
Designs can be posted here or on our skinnyskinny fan page , but the completed file should be emailed to info@skinnyskinny.com .
Files should be Illustrator, Photoshop, or PDF.
Print size should not be larger than 10″x10″.
Deadline is March 14, 2010.
So, get to work! We need some new shirts.
Questions: just email us at info@skinnyskinny.com
And here’s a skinnyskinny logo for you to work with. Feel free to change color and size.

We are 100% carbon-neutral. Being “carbon neutral” means we are not adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Every time one travels, transports or manufactures most anything, there is the potential to add greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. This is because most of the energy that is used during travel or transport, comes from fuels like oil, coal, and gas. How does skinnyskinny work to reduce our carbon footprint? We purchase wind-power (a clean, renewable energy) for all of our electricity. We purchase additional carbon-offsets to cover travel, transportation and anything else not covered by our wind-energy. We use recycled, reclaimed, and sustainable materials for all of our packaging. And with very few exceptions, we make every single product ourselves in our Brooklyn, NY workshop. Most of us here at skinnyskinny are vegetarians, too. (There have been lots of studies that show a vegetarian diet contributes less carbon to the atmosphere than a diet meat-based diet.)
