The back room of the shop contains some of the priciest per-square-inch pieces. Bras, panties and sexy nightgowns abound, most around $75. Made from hemp and silk, the lingerie is pretty and girly, possibly worth a little splurge for a special occasion.
Del Pilar herself admits that Setchi is primarily aimed at a slightly older crowd, but that doesn't mean that college students should wholly abstain.
The most affordable pieces are things such as a comfy, faux-cashmere bamboo shirt for $30 and bamboo socks for $9. Both made by Jonäno, the earth-friendly but still-cheap pieces may be the best option for cash-strapped coeds.
Setchi, although the first totally eco-friendly clothing store in D.C., isn't the only option for dressing while respecting the earth. Companies such as Loomstate, Stewart + Brown and Ecoganik all sell out of locations in the area, and all of these and more can be found online. Even Bono has gotten in on the eco-action - he and his wife have their own line called Edun which supports fair trade in African countries.
