CALLING all environmentally conscious recessionistas -- Bono's wife Ali is having a sale that could suit you.
Edun, the fair trade, largely organic fashion label founded by Ali Hewson, is having a sample sale in Dublin next week.
The label has sent invites out to socialites across the country promising them designer quality at bargain prices. The sale will feature a "stunning" collection of jeans, blouses, T-shirts, dresses and shirts in all sizes at "vastly reduced prices".
Growing
The fashion label has been growing over the past few years as the fashionable begin to think green.
Edun was set up by Hewson to encourage the provision of sustainable employment in the developing world. However, unlike other similar labels out there, Edun's clothes have been hitting the catwalks in major fashion shows around the world.
Edun T-shirts have been sported by her rock-star husband and Ali is reported to have given Brad and Angelina some Edun clothing for their baby twins, Knox and Vivienne.
Thousands of people are expected to flock to the Edun sale next weekend.
The sale will be taking place in the Mount Herbert Place Hotel on Herbert Road, Dublin 4 from 10am Friday, November 14 to Sunday 16.
