Organic at West Elm

This is a good sign. Good looking, organic linens from West Elm that are indistinguishable from "conventional" towels, sheets, and throws. Good colors, and relatively affordable -- though there's no feigning originality with a source this widely distributed. A few of our favorites after the jump...

It is a good sign but I wonder about the source of the organic cotton. Target offered organic sheets/towels for a while as well but they came from India/Turkey and I was concerned about the labor practices used. The sheets in the end were less than $40 a set, suspiciously cheap.

I can't decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing that buying bedding has become not only a design decision but an ethical wrestling match as well.
