Still annoyed
that Bush beat Al Gore in 2000? A fan of ‘An Inconvenient Truth’? Want
to show your support in aid of the fight against global warming? Well,
do we have a bag for you! The fabulous Hayden-Harnett, best known on
The Bag Lady for their beautiful, vintage-styled bags, were so inspired by Al’s environmental work, that they created this eco-friendly tote in an effort to save our planet. At $55, you may think it’s a bit pricy, but when you consider that $25 goes to global warming charities and $10 goes to American Forests,
to plant more trees (10 per bag, in fact!), then it’s well worth the
warm and fuzzies you’ll feel, knowing you’re doing your part!
I wouldn’t normally look to the sporting world for style, but I’ve just been surprised by Ekawear, a funky, fair trade brand designed by Snowboarder Gilly Seagrave. She sells very cute crocheted hats, ipod pouches and other wooly items in cheerful colours to keep you (and your favourite gadgets) all snuggly, whether you’re planning to hit the slopes or just slope around the frozen streets for the rest of winter. The current collection is particularly lovely, and references 1920s cloche hats.

If you think you’ll like the cut of their jib (or just look at some
very pretty butterfly animations), Ekawear have just launched a new website with lots of info on the company’s ethics and links with Auroville, India, where the products are hand-made. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
