We already told you about NY fashion collaborative Eko-Lab. This weekend, designers Amy Mohlenhoff, Kaori Yamazaki, Melissa Kirgan, Xing-Zhen Chung-Hilyard, Meiling Chen and Mika Machida are getting crafty for Christmas with their Organic Holiday Gift and Sample Sale. The 3 day event will be held at the Ekovaruhuset boutique at 121 Ludlow St, on Saturday and Sunday the 13 and 14 of December (1 to 6 pm).
