Eco Evie Apparel, a Milwaukee-based clothing brand owned by mother-daughter duo Kelly and
Evie Mutsch, is making creative waves in conservation. The innovative brand crafts clothing and accessories from 100% recycled water bottles, with each piece featuring original artwork inspired by endangered species. Thirteen-year-old Evie, who has autism, selects the animals, and her mother Kelly transforms these choices into beautiful hand-painted and digital designs.
A portion of every sale is donated to animal conservation programs that are closely tied to the featured species on the garments. To date, Eco Evie has recycled over 35,000 water bottles and donated nearly $3,000 to various conservation efforts. The brand regularly updates its collection with a new animal-inspired design every other month.
