Passion for the Planet

Flirty. Sexy. Organic. Yeah, it's possible. Fort Collins retailer Elyse Miller has proved the point at her funky little boutique, Passion for the Planet, where saucy lingerie made from organic and sustainable fibers rules the day (and night). Open since May, the lineup includes modest-looking - and modestly priced - organic panties, bras, nightgowns and robes, plus eco-friendly undergear for guys, too. For those special occasions, like a wedding night, you can slip into something much more slinky (and spendy). Custom-fitted organic silk satin sets from Enamore's Sensibella line - panties, camisole, eye mask and garter - run about $300, and the Jezebelle sassy organic silk and soy blend bralet and panty set costs about $200. If you're feeling a little bold, check out the sustainable (ahem) sex toys hidden behind the curtain at the back of the store.
