These websites offer beach wear, bridal fashions, jeans and other types of leg wear, lingerie, street and sportswear; most of them are sold by name brand companies and famous designers, such as, Calvin Klein, Gucci, Rodan, Valentino, and many, many others. Most of the clothing is sold all over Europe; however, growers are trying very hard to get the United States more involved with organic farming.
