I’m seriously diggin’ the nod to the traditional Mexican Poncho found in the Sporty Poncho… I love the slvrmx best. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!!
I love that Indigenous is fair trade and uses organic material! I’ll just pick 4 favorites, which is a challenge. Since I live in Hawaii, I’m going with the drape neck tee, flirt skirt, luxury pullover and military jacket for my winter collection ;)
I love EVERYTHING! However, I will only list a few of the things I fell in love with. The Portrait Coat, the Flirt Skirt, the Wrap Hoody, the Drawstring Dress and the Diamond Skirt are a few of my favorite things.
I really liked their “winter coat”! Gorgeous!
The Geo Wrap! GUSH!
I’m drooling over the Geo Wrap, but I also love love love the Premier Wrap. Beautiful stuff!
I’ve been looking everywhere for a sweater like the White Winter Pullover!!!! And it’s cotton! Bless you! No acrylic… finally.
I’m awfully fond of the flounce skirt and drawstring dress…
I like the ponchos – especially the fiesta poncho.
I LOVE FAIR TRADE!! ESPECIALLY FAIR TRADE CLOTHING THAT’S ACTUALLY ON-TREND. I would love the mixed knit coat, geo-wrap, and the mix knit zip. Crossing my fingers!!
I love the sheer tank tops, it’s perfect for a day at the beach followed my lunch with a girlfriend :)
I love the Geo-wrap, my fav!!!
This is gorgeous: http://www.indigenous.com/shop/product/24373-turning-leaf-rose. And perfect for winter!!
My favorite item is the “Urban” fingerless gloves. Every single long sleeved shirt I have has stretched out sleeves because I constantly pull them over my hands. I have a shirt that’s similar to this one in that it pulls over the thumb, though not the other fingers. It’s my favorite that I own because of that. It’s just such a great idea. Thanks for hosting this give away! Good luck to all!
I love the charcoal-infused hangers. They are totally a brilliant idea and I need some!
I would die for the Portrait Coat in black! so G or G eo u S !!!
My favorite is the NOVELTY PONCHO made in Peru!! Loved this company since I made the homepage a listed FAVORITE months ago! One day I hope to purchase so much from this company because currently I am a young, poor college student. Being environmentally responsible is what I continue to sustain and learn and grow everyday! Thank you for this Ecoterre & INDIGENOUS.
i just found Indigenous today and i love it all. i LOVE that it’s fair trade and organic and that the sweaters look so warm and cozy but they’re made from cotton (which is great since i’m allergic to wool). i love all the scarves and the chunky cowl tunic.
Geo wrap, Winter coat and Asymmetrical Zip – my favourites. Winter coat – good design!
Thank you for offering such a lovely and generous giveaway. A few of my favorites are the Winter Coat in Charcoal, Alpaca Geo Pullover, Wrap Hoodie, and Winter Pullover in Emerald.
The mixed knit coat is too gorgeous!!
The Flower Pins come in a range of vibrant colors. The Airplane Wrap and Urban Fingerless Gloves look great to snuggle up in this cold weather.
The shoreline skirt would go great with the luxury tank. I love love love that skirt.
I like the fingerless gloves.
I’m a big fan of anything that’s warm without being bulky, so the Alpaca Sheer Pullover and Shaped Cardigan from the Indigenous website look perfect for the winter months.
I love the military jacket! Super chic but still totally sporty.
I LOVE the slate mixed knit coat!!! It is gorgeous and looks so soft and nice…not just alpaca, but FREE RANGE alpaca!? That is a dream to me!
Favorites: Men’s Essential V, Theory Polo, Organic Rancher Shirt. Great stuff!
very favorite: tassel scarves and flounce skirt (purple!)
LOVE the plum ‘flounce’ skirt.
LOVE the luxury pullover and weekender cardigan!!
I love the aerial pullover sweater and the flounce skirt!
Dreaming of wearing a long soft alpaca Winter coat…. Although it doesn’t seem to come in my size. Failing that keeping warm and toasty in a Reversible Cardigan… mmmmmmm…. nice
i love the Winter Pullover in black.
I adore what Indigenous is all about………..I would also love to own some items, but cannot currently afford to as we are helping our newly divorced daughter who has five adorable children and is going to school.
I do love businesses that have high standards……..:).
I realllly love the Geo Wrap and the Winter Coat! Certainly useful for Chicago winters!
The quality of all the clothes looks amazing. As far as cut, the Portrait Coat is my favorite!
I just wrote an article about sustainable fashion for an environmental journalism class at my university and I’m feeling all revved up about organic cotton and low-impact dyes. Indigenous is way too expensive for me, but if I had $200, I’d spring for the Drape Neck Tee, Button Tee and the Flirt Skirt. :-)
I love the Namaste pullover. The Savvy skirt in steel would also be a great piece to have.
The Namaste pullover is beautiful. So nice to see fair trade in more than the food industry.
I love the winter coat in charcoal! So pretty & fashionable. xoxox

I favor the geo-wrap. It looks so warm and comfy.
I like the coffee house hoodie.
I can see myself wearing their Portrait Coat and Romantic Pullover — ty for the chance!

I have to pic just one?! :) I could see my sister in the portrait coat. I love the Drape neck dress – classic and sexy. I am shopping here for holiday gifts regardless! I love what Indigenous supports and grows! Thank you for putting more based design into this world!
The “Winter Coat” is absolutely stunning. I really appreciate that all of their items are fair-trade and the proceeds actually support female artisans in their craft. A zillion thumbs up!
Wonderful clothes! I’d put together a colorful and fun outfit with the “flounce” skirt, button tee, and mixed knit coat for day time…and then put on the drape neck dress for an evening out…and if it was cold bring along the geo wrap.
love the cotton jackets, simple tees and wrap sweaters. it’s all hella cute!
I like the Variegated Turning Leaf Sweater.
i like military jackets
The Indie zip hoodie!

The Geo Wrap and Long Shawl Cardigan are my favorites. So many ways I could wear both of these pieces!
My favorite part of this website is the reuse section. Ever since I found you guys I have enjoyed numerous of posts and ideas. I like the recent post of the un-knitting machine to reuse yarn. I know a lot of horrible Christmas sweaters that need that fate.
Would love that Double-Faced Cardigan in Pewter/Black!

Wow, what’s not to like? A few things that especially caught my eye, though, include the drape neck tee and asymmetrical zip because I am really into teal right now, and the airplane wrap to cozy up to while traveling.
Wow, what’s not to like? However, a few of the pieces that especially caught my eye include the drape neck tee and the asymmetrical zip because I am way into the color teal at the moment. Also the airplane wrap to cozy into when I travel.
I absolutely adore the “Aerial” pullover – the detailing is fantastic and alone is worth well over $160. Also, the colour is so rich!
I’m also digging the v-neck tees with button detail- perfect layer for a saturday afternoon at the farmers’ market.
Also, loving all of those baggy tunics – another comfy staple!
a lot of really cute pieces – love the lacey sweater
Fave! http://www.indigenous.com/shop/product/asymmetrical-zip1
Love, love, love the winter pullover, the shoreline skirt, and the seashore hoodie (among many others)!

The winter coat is my favorite. I’d have a hard time choosing between the black on black option and the light gray on charcoal option. The coat has a slick, elegant silhouette, and I love the knitting on the collar and sleeves.
Wondering, though. The e-mail I use to sign in to Ecouterre is different from the one I use to sign into Facebook. Will you be able to tell that I’ve liked Indigenous’s Facebook page? Will that affect my chances of winning?
I love the portait coat and the shoreline skirt!
Men’s shawl collar & coffee house hoodie
in general alpaca clothes on indigenous are some of the greatest threads ive seen!
Nice Selection – Thank you! Indie zip hoodie, Chunky Cowl, Military Jacket, Portrait Coat, & Urban Tunic
I’m always cold so I like the wraps and scarfs!
Love love love the INDIE ZIP HOODIE
The Savvy skirt, Double Layer skirt, Flounce skirt, Flower skirt, and the Flirt skirt. Basically all of their skirts, haha.
Love love love the cozy looking INDIE ZIP HOODIE
I like their facebook. this is for my new pregnant wife, thank God. Shalom, from Israel.
I love the white winter pullover!!
The “100 percent organic-jersey V-neck tee ($70), features unique button details on its sleeves” is gorgeous. I could definitely see myself wearing this during the holiday season!
The novelty poncho & alpaca cardigan look so warm & comfy!
Great designs and utility in Alpaca material for these winter items! My first pick is the Winter Coat, with is contrasting knits to make the interior lining super soft. I feel like this would last many seasons and always be an eye-catching style with its’ asymmetrical collar. Totally worth the investment.
My runner ups are the Alpaca Reversible Cardigan in berry- a hot trend color right now and bonus for double wear options! & the Alpaca Sheer Pullover for its’ light comfort, dramatic collar, and silvery softness!
So good.
I love the military jacket in cypress!
Love the Geo Wrap! Looks so warm!
I love the seashore hoodie. Perfect for beachcombing after a storm!
Love the Drape Neck Dress and the Flirt Skirt.

Weekender cardigan and alpaca cable cardigan are on my Christmas list! It’s cold in the city…need some stylish and warm gear for winter. Love the clothes, love the philosophy…please make my Holiday wishes come true :)
I love the Luxury Tee because of the neckline and the elbow length sleeves. Another favorite is the Weekender Cardigan because of the length, the navy color, and the buttons.

All products look great, but the organic-jersey V-neck tee is my style, I love the colour and design!
Mix knit zip is very very nice.
I am liking the Button Tee- very dramatic, and the color is great. Also liking the Aerial Cardigan- the long length in that style of cardigan is a nice touch. The Mixed Knit Coat has the “World” look, but it also looks just a little bit like something I might have worn and loved a long time ago.
perfectly draped designs..
Luxury Tunic with Savvy skirt, both in black..covered for warmth in the Mixer Knit Coat and never forget the Airplane Scarf used as a low waistline sash
I would want to get Mix Knit Zip so I could wear it on my trip next year
The simplicity of design, organic, eco-friendly and sustainability that ecouterre is what makes my heart go pitter-patter. If I was to choose one fav it would be the INDIE ZIP HOODIE. Huge thanks for the chance to win. Cheers!!
I wish I could wear wool because I love the winter coat with the sweater neck.
