cmarchuska Review
cmarchuska, makers of organic clothing for women and men, have created clothing that is not only eco-friendly but fashionable as well. Going Green has never felt more comfortable!

An excerpt from the cmarchuska website:

Why cmarchuska clothing and Marchuska tees?

cmarchuska clothing and Marchuska tees redefine comfort, fit and fashion:
most eco-friendly clothing is good for the earth, but is lacking in style and cut.
high fashion clothing is usually made with fabrics that are processed with excessive amounts of waste.

the few lines that incorporate high fashion with sustainable fabrics are excessively overpriced. cmarchuska clothing and Marchuska tees are the answer by bringing together high fashion and sustainable high quality fabrics at an affordable price.



I was sent the Hunter Scarf to review. The package arrived while I was not home, and my husband, without reading the mailing label, assumed it was something he ordered. So, he opened it. When I returned home, I say that the package appeared to be opened and then re-taped. Hmmm....

I asked my dear husband if he opened the package, and unable to lie, admitted he did. I asked why he re-taped it, he said, "I didn't want to upset you that I saw one of my Christmas presents."

What?

When I explained that I was reviewing the Hunter Scarf on my blog for cmarchuska, and that the scarf was mine, he was a bit disappointed. One touch of that silky material around my neck and I understood why.

The Hunter Scarf is the perfect accessory for the stylish and socially conscious individual. Super soft, long unisex scarf made of an organic blend of modal and silk. Made with care in New York's Garment District, USA. Part of the cmarchuska Signature Collection.

The Hunter Scarf is the perfect accessory for any woman or man. The length is perfect for wrapping the scarf loosely around my neck, and I love that the lightweight material doesn't add bulk- just style.

The Hunter Scarf is available for purchase ($50) from the cmarchuska website. Purchase one for someone special as a Valentine's Day gift, or treat yourself to this eco-friendly, fashionable scarf. You will not be disappointed.

Welcome to the new cmarchuska blog!

Hello everyone! My trip to New York was so amazing and I definitely learned a lot more about the ins and outs of running cmarchuska, along with what it's like to live in the city.

On day 1, Christine, Christine's friend Rachel, and myself ventured to the Lehigh-Starett Center to walk around the Designers and Agents Summer '09 fashion trade show. Seeing all the different vendors on display gave us plenty of ideas and inspiration to make our display at Magic all the more successful and memorable. We also met with and submitted a few samples to a family run company who specialize in eco-friendly dyes...we cannot wait to see the results of the two test t shirts in apple green and a crush (tie-die) pattern. Christine is eager to bring more color to the line; more to come on this soon! We also visited the C.L.A.S.S booth to check out some samples of new and upcoming eco-friendly fabrics. C.L.A.S.S. is an incredible resource; this organization provides eco-friendly designers with the latest and greatest fabrics and fabric suppliers from around the world.

On day 2 Christine and I did more prepping for Magic and visited the cut and sew contractor in the garment district. It was very interesting to see first hand the flurry of activity that is put into every cmarchuska piece. That night, we had some fun networking at the "How To Love Like a Hot Chick" book launch event. I had a great time with Christine and her friends and we got a lot of compliments on the cmarchuska gear we were wearing ;)

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed my time with Christine and it was really refreshing for me to live in the city for a couple days. I feel better equipped now to fulfill my role as the cmarchuska intern now that I have been "behind the scene". Thanks to Christine and the gang for making my visit super fun and worthwhile! :)

Peace!

Everything is turning up hunter scarves!!!!

Check out this fabulous new bit about the hunter scarf written up by the Literary Illusions Review:

In the era of Green Living, organic clothing is becoming all the rage. My first experience with organic clothing was a night shirt that I picked up at a local store. While it was just cotton, it quickly became one of my favorite sleeping items because it was so soft and comfortable.

From then on I took an interest in organic clothing. I don’t shop nearly as much as I should, so I haven’t picked up too many items that fall into this category. However, when cmarchuska asked me to review their Hunter Scarf, a unisex scarf made of organic material, I was more than willing to offer them a review.

While I will attempt to be somewhat long winded, I could review the Hunter Scarf in two sentences.

“The hunter scarf is one of my favorite fashion accessories. You seriously need to go buy one.”

Naturally, as a review that doesn’t say too much, as nice as it may seem, so I will try to elaborate.

There is no true way to describe how fabulous this is without feeling one. The fabric is to die for. The black will go with nearly everything, but it is the soft, comforting feel that makes it a must own item. Made from an organic blend of modal and silk you will love this gentle feel and the subtle elegance that it provides to any outfit or winter ensemble.

The Hunter Scarf is unisex and one size fits all. It’s long enough to work as a winter scarf, thrown over your shoulders and wrapped lightly around your neck, but you can also tie it, do something creative, or even wear it as a hair wrap should you be inclined to do so. I generally go with the scarf method myself and as I said, it has become one of my favorite accessories. In fact, I rarely leave home without it these days.

Fans of American made products will take delight in the fact that these Hunter Scarfs are produced in New York’s Garment District. This alone makes it worth the purchase price of $50 to support the country’s workforce and look great while doing it.

I have been wearing the Hunter Scarf since I got it, about ten days ago. I have no doubt that this will be good for the next few winters, if not longer, and I will probably out grow it before it dies on me. With that in mind, it makes for the perfect winter purchase. Of course, I suspect that by Spring I will find another use for it that allows it to continue to be used in the warmer weather, too.


After trying the Hunter Scarf, I am hip on the idea of checking out more of cmarchuska’s line. If you would like to check it out or want to pick up a Hunter Scarf for yourself you can visit the cmarchuska website to see the entire line by designer, Christine Marchuska.

In case you haven’t noticed, I recommend you go pick one of these up at your earliest convenience. They are perfect for anyone in the winter weather, they look fabulous, and they are so comfortable you’ll want to wear them even when you’re not in the blustery cold. $50 might seem like a bit much for a scarf, but if you can afford it, I assure you the Hunter Scarf is worth every single penny!
