[USPRwire, Mon Mar 15 2010] Peri Ponchos, a Northwest hand-made favorite, has recently expanded their collection of adorable fleece ponchos to include a line of sustainably-produced children's fleece ponchos. Their EcoFleece line is made from high-quality polar fleece -- made entirely from 2 liter pop bottles.

Peri Ponchos started in 2002, when Peri made a hand-sewn poncho for her daughter. She soon was the envy of every little girl on the playground, and Peri began getting requests for other hand-made ponchos. She began sewing more and more until the schoolyard was full of spinning, colorful ponchos. Encouraged by other moms, Peri began creating a full line of children's fleece ponchos, and a business was born. That was nearly 10 years ago, and today Peri Ponchos can be found in boutiques across the United States, Canada and Japan.

"I take delight in creating colorful, wearable children's ponchos," said Peri. "The wonderful thing is that they are so functional and practical, they are loved equally by mothers and daughters."

Peri's poncho collection features a line of winter fleece, which are the heaviest weight poncho, a micro-fleece, and the new line EcoFleece ponchos. Each handmade kid's poncho is finished with colorful rococo flower trim, or ric rac, pom poms, and a tassel at the top of the hood. Her full line of ponchos is available for purchase on her website, http://www.periponchos.com

"We are so happy to be able to offer our new EcoFleece Ponchos, which use fleece made from 100% recyled plastic bottles! We feel great about creating a high quality hand-made product that is also sustainable," says Peri. "I don't know how they do it but they are able to transform pounds of plastic bottles and recycle them into wonderfully thick, soft fleece." The new EcoFleece line can be seen on the Peri Ponchos website: http://www.periponchos.com/categories/EcoFleece/

Peri Ponchos have been featured in several magazines, and recently appeared on the big screen in the 2008 movie "Phoebe in Wonderland", starring Elle Fanning and Felicity Huffman. Ponchos can be ordered directly from the Peri Ponchos website at http://www.periponchos.com . Ponchos are available in sizes to fit infants to age 12. Peri Ponchos accepts wholesale orders, and gift certificates are also available.
