Chic Video: Make A T Skirt

I’ve seen these skirts before and thought it might be a great way to use up all those band tees that I’m too sentimental to get rid of…

Recycled: Parachute Dress

I love this parachute dress. It’s looks very summer, but the bodice is made out of recycled corduroy, meaning its warm enough for fall.
The bubble is pretty and the halter top is amazing. Everything that Aiguileetfil makes is totally recycled
$90

Recycled Military Bag

image: sodafine
This bag is a sexier version of all the military-styled bags you see out there. It’s made of military canvas tents and parachute fabric, so it’ll certainly last.
I like the rounded shape of this bag. Too many military bags are slouchy and square. It’s a new silhouette.
The straps and pocket are also made from […]

recycled sandals from begoodesigns

A good pair of sandals to last you all summer isn’t an easy request.
These sandals from Begoodesigns are great. They’re handmade from recycled leather and the designs they have come up with are gorgeous.
This pair reminds me of scales somehow, i can only imagine that the leather is soft and that these sandals are comfy […]

reconstructed plaid flutter sleeve top

More recycled clothing for you.
Supayana is the designer that won last years Next Big Thing, a great contest run by indie clothiers Fred Flare. Everything produced by supayana is fantastic.
This reconstructed plaid shirt hits my plaid soft spot. The flutter top was a men’s button-up in a former life, but now is a great top […]

fitted recycled jacket

This used to be a tablecloth, can you imagine?
I love the simplicity of the design and it’s the type of jacket you’ll end up wearing over anything. There is a paisley design I cant’ really se in the pictures, but the listing says it’s there.
The lining is recycled too, wit ha vintage sheet, so it’ll […]

Arizona Jeans has two great eco-friendly options for you. They have a Recycled collection, where products must be at least 25% recycled material, like cotton, glass or polyester, and an Organic collection, where products must be at least 70% organic, like cotton and linen.
While I wish AZ had more stringent standards for what constitutes being […]

Deborah Lindquist is one of Los Angeles’ hottest high fashion eco-designers. She uses such eco-friendly fabrics like recycled cashmere, repurposed kimonos and saris, vintage fabrics, hemp, bamboo, organic cotton and organic wool.

Vintage Vinyl Cuff

I love this cuff. It’s amazing how a little creativity can take recycling a long way.

Recycled out of classic vinyl LPs and plated with rhodium, it will never tarnish and still has the original grooves from the record! It’s made in Brooklyn by an independent designer who sells their ware through Elsewares.
It’s $50.00, but I […]
