Mushrooms inspired this set of ‘Porcini’ Lamps, bringing a series of organic shapes together to form this sustainable lighting. Created using naturally sustainable materials; Tasmanian Oak, a non-endangered timber species sourced from Australian sustainable forests finished with natural Australian beeswax, and 100% pure new wool upholstery, which is both biodegradable and renewable. The hand-crafted feel of these items reflects the elements of its nature.

Loving this recycled necklace sent in by eco designer Camilla Hounsell. This quirky piece would work well teamed with a simple fitted black/white dress, or a pencil skirt teamed with a soft organic t-shirt.

Is the glorious Kitty Cooper who reworks recycled pieces to make the most beautiful and intricate handmade shoes. Her designs are inspired by the shapes, styles and craftsmanship of past eras, as well as the vintage ‘make-do-and-mend’ sensibility which is the antithesis of modern throw-away fashion.

Zambikes, the brainchild company setup by two Californians and two Zambians, creates beautifully made bamboo bikes, which are strong enough to handle many different types of environments.
Perseverance and an innovative approach to product design and working practices have helped Zambikes put down strong roots enabling a Zambian community to work and prosper and the eco properties of bamboo to be explored further.

Oooh I am loving this new website which showcases the genius work of Benjamin Reingold; a kind of deconstruct and re-create designer, with a sense of humour and a mean eye for the potential within a garment. This guy is a great fashion label in the making.

Although not technically eco in any way, I just love the designs of Narciso Rodriguez. The simple elegance and lines make these pieces future friendly, in that they won’t date and should last a very very long time. So simple and yet so flattering…
