This from the NZ Herald:

Kate Sylvester and her team have won the Emerging Small and Medium Business Award at the Sustainable Business Network Awards. Sylvester’s initiatives, including day-to-day recycling and commitment to keeping garments New Zealand made, were recognised by the judges.

Kate also gets a congratulations in Oct 08′s Marie Claire magazine. She makes all her knits are made from Zqued-graded wool, meaning each garment can be traced from farm to runway, ensuring it is organic and sustainable. Kate uses eco friendly light bulbs in her offices, which also have worm farms. Cotton in her winter 08 collection is organic, and by next year her label will be carbon-neutral. Read more here.

Flippin’ heck that’s awesome.
