Right now we’re all looking at the world a little differently. Sustainability and small business are becoming more and more appealing. Here are some innovative companies making sustainability and eco-fashion very cool!
SUSTAINABLE JEWELRY
Sustainability is huge now and there’s no shortage of it if you’re really into jewelry. In an instant, you can go online and find some gorgeous, ethically-sourced earrings in 14K, 18K and gold vermeil (made in my hometown of New York, no less). Are you more interested in supporting small businesses who are making handcrafted jewelry that’s also eco-friendly? Or want to support small businesses owned by women? This Nashville-based company works with women in the USA and abroad to make affordable pieces with a big social impact. Love some super-original, one-of-a-kind accessories? Accompany supports the work of indigenous people and materials that have been responsibly sourced – from jewelry to home goods.
ECO FASHION
Organic cotton + small business! I’ve always been a fan of small business, but now, especially, I know how important it is for us to help keep these little guys up and running. So, with that, I like to support people who are trying to make it online at these times. These are a bunch of small biz peeps who are creating organic cotton clothing. I’m loving these organic tank tops made with plant dyes right now! Shop here.
There’s a new trend right now…truly fashionable and modern clothing made from waste and recycled fabrics. Being that workout wear is very in now, it’s so great to know that some of the most coveted styles are made from recycled plastic bottles. Girlfriend Collective not only is high quality, but they are also big on inclusivity, so all shapes and sizes are recognized and celebrated.
Companies that create beautiful eco-fashion, yet consider the environment and their workers are gaining a lot of attention these days. I was really happy and surprised to see an Amour Vert shop open up in SoHo in NYC…it’s a big step, but their absolutely gorgeous clothes fit right in.
Everlane is making the coolest sweatshirts and jackets from recycled polyester and cotton. They also make this very affordable Weekender bag from recycled polyester. And if you’re in the market for a new coat or jacket, why not check out these ones that are made from renewed down and recycled plastic bottles? And these undies, bras and tees are made sustainably with recycled fabrics and a low carbon footprint. Love organic cotton like me? I suggest you check out these guys (but they sell out pretty fast). This year was the first time that I’d ever heard of a brand making sweaters from recycled cashmere and another company making stunning recycled cashmere hats, gloves and scarves.
