Style That's Handmade, Vintage, Used and Organic

Make your own stuff to wear with triple the eco power! Get a vintage or used book on how to crochet, knit or sew your own clothing & accessories, then make your crafts using organic yarns, fabrics and vintage embellishments, and the final eco-power is in the fact that it's all handmade by you. That is as fair trade, organic, and low impact as you can possibly get! Check out this funky fun 80's mag at Sought Vintage on etsy ( pictured here above and below)...

"Marshall Cavendish's Stitch by Stitch weekly magazine from 1979/1981. Two issues!!!Issues 22 and 42 of this 80's popular series containing excellent retro crochet, knitting and sewing patterns.These have BIG crochet sweater, Legwarmers, rain ponchos, "French" knitting, Awesome sundresses, Lacy pillows, Sailor shirt, Checked sweater, so much more...

On Sale! Valetines Special!

This adorable hand woven wool handbag is on sale at The Oko Box, marked down from $55 to $30! Indigenous Designs employs people from the most impoverished regions of the world, incorporating traditional crafting techniques with modern design - the results are perfectly earthy yet elegant pieces that won't be outdated.
The red color is perfect for the upcoming holiday! So here's a cute idea - fill this sweet little handbag with a few sultry goodies for Valentines... like a surprise pair of eco skivvies from Clare Bare and a pack of flower seeds that'll attract hummingbirds and butterflies. You can order all three of these gifts for $60 ... there's nothing more romantic then a little social justice, saving money and showing some love for the earth!
