Nestled in the heart of the Redwood Forests of Northern California, a young company called Blue Canoe is busy making close-to-the-body wear with a difference. Blue Canoe was founded in 1991 by CEO Laurie Dunlap and is at present the only company in the country exclusively producing body wear from organically grown cotton. Our business practices are based on a lifestyle committed to living lightly on the earth, following good sense rather than trends, supporting sustainability, recycling and non-chemical alternatives. We are a part of the Co-op America Business Network whose members pledge to conduct business in a way that addresses the needs of consumers, employees, our communities and the environment.

Blue Canoe's philosphy is that garments worn next to the skin should be pure and non-toxic as well as being an integral part of the wardrobe. To that end, all the styles are created to work with other clothing as under layers, sportswear, and casual wear.

Appealing to the fast growing number of "Green" consumers who are demanding natural alternatives to traditionally grown cotton which uses large amounts of chemicals, the Blue Canoe line successfully reflects the values of a lifestyle that is both close to nature and physically active.

Blue Canoe's ever growing number of customers are appreciative of the quality, American made, simple and flattering styles that can go from a casual lunch to yoga class to the beach. These versatile layering pieces not only look and feel great, but are friendly to the environment and the skin.
