Cute Low Top Vegan Sneaker

Missy — Sun, 03 May 2009 23:45:05 +0000

Nimli has a nice selection of vegan apparel accessories and sneakers, such as the low top sneaker below.

A vegan sneaker is void of any animal byproduct and is constructed using the utmost care to ensure that it’s 100% cruelty-free. Vegans do not want to support merchants and manufacturers that use animals on their product.

The low top vegan sneaker found at Nimli is by a company called Autonomie Project, and their mission is to outfit individuals who care about where there apparel accessories and footwear comes from.

They specialize in fair trade goods, which means fair labor and wages are provided to the staff that creates their products. They also only use sustainable fabrics in their product line such as organic cotton, FSC-certified rubber, cruelty-free fair trade canvas, and other eco friendly materials.

The low top sneaker above is 100% vegan, 100% fair trade and 100% cute.

Inexpensive DIY Mother’s Day Gift idea

Missy — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 01:46:31 +0000

It’s not too early to think about a cool Mother’s Day gift idea since it’s only a few weeks away.

Below I cover a simple, inexpensive and eco friendly gift idea. Mom’s love totebags because they always have a million errands to run. So with that in mind, I thought it would be cool to arrange a personalized totebag for her.

Avery paper compnay has a great custom canvas totebag DIY for moms using their iron-on transfers.

Buy a canvas totebag
Use the Mother’s Day iron-on transfer template from Avery
Customize it with a personal photo name or message
Fill the totebag with some of her favorite goodies

This is a simple but really groovy idea that can go far if you choose the goodies well and if you doll up the personalization on the totebag.

It’s your mom – go all out!

Which is your favorite canvas or reusable shopping bag?

Missy — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 01:57:28 +0000

Many shops now either give away or sell canvas shopping bags. Have you bought one?

Walgreens has these white/green shopping bags with a recycle logo on them, they retail for $1.00 World Market sells a swanky canvas shopping bag for $9.95 and Target has a reusable bag for about $1.49

I believe most of these reusable bags can only be had in store, not online. But i’m sure it varies.

So have you bought any of these bags and which ones are your favorite? Tell us in the comments section below.

Canvas Messenger Bag from Nike Considered

Missy — Sat, 03 Nov 2007 03:45:48 +0000

Nike has a line of eco friendly footwear and apparel that are made with recycled materials and are locally sourced. The name of the line is Nike Considered.

This is an attempt by Nike to green-up and become more sustainable, one beef i have with this green line, is you have to climb mountains to find it on their website. Nowhere is it prominently displayed or brought attention to. I only found the line through their search feature. I would think the eco line would be front and center.

But in any case, i found this great canvas messenger bag, that is really cute and is made to be sturdy enough for books and has a nice rugged feel to it. The eco friendly messenger bag is created out of canvas and rubber-coated linen, comes in an olive/tan/canvas color and retails for less than $105.

Now is a great time to do some online shopping as both mainstream manufacturers and green retailers are moving out the summer stuff and getting ready for the fall line-up. Go to your fave shop just type in eco friendly fabric options in search, and see what is up for sale.

Drop by the Organic Avenue

Brian Yalung — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 03:26:47 +0000

For people who have no idea on sorting out green commodities, there are stores like the Organic Avenue that they can check out. It is not purely about fashionable clothes but also about organically made consumer goods such as food and drinks.

Organic may be broad in terms of easy association. The best way is to check out the stores that offer them since they can more or less broaden the questions in the mind of people who want to go green.
