Gap Teen: New Eco-Friendly Clothing Line for Teenage Girls - SheKnows

Posted: 23 Apr 2020 01:05 PM PDT

If you have a teenager in your house, we don't have to tell you how stir crazy they are right now. But maybe they've also been real troupers about being stuck at home with you. Maybe they deserve a reward, or bribe, like some outfits that inherently remind them that warm weather and time outside (with their friends?!) is soon within reach. Gap Teen — a new capsule collection for girls that Gap launched this week — certainly fits the bill.

It's amazing to realize that the Gap, the brand of my own teenage years, never had a specific teen line until now. But like teenagers, we want to live in the present, so we'll appreciate what they're offering right now. According to a press release, every item in this collection has a sustainable element, so it makes total sense that it's launching on Earth Day. That means the denim is all made using Gap's Washwell program that uses 20 percent less water than traditional denim. The T-shirts and tanks are made with organic cotton. The romper is made from a fiber derived from "certified renewable wood sources." And 5 percent of the denim skirt is recycled cotton.

If eco-friendly fabric isn't on the top of your criteria for teen clothing, you may instead be interested in the reasonable price point ($17-$65) and the fact that these pieces are really cute.

Our mission at SheKnows is to empower and inspire women, and we only feature products we think you'll love as much as we do.

Fort Wayne-based boutique donates clothing to Salvation Army - wpta21.com

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (ABC21) - The Fort Wayne Salvation Army was able to help families in a different way, thanks to a Fort Wayne-based clothing store.

Just as they do with groceries, Wednesday afternoon the Salvation Army handed out infant, girls' and women's outfits, drive-through style.

The clothes were a donation from Matilda Jane.

Officials with Salvation Army say the need for food has jumped 250 percent.

But unemployment has made it hard for people to get other essential items, like clothing.

"I think it's something people are finding themselves in for the first time since the pandemic. That they have been laid off work or get to a store to purchase clothing since they're closed," says Jama Smith, with the Salvation Army. "So this is a pretty big issue that people are having."

The drive-through event wrapped up Wednesday afternoon at 3:00.

We're told more than 1,000 pieces of clothing were given away.
