Let’s face it. Bottom-line is eco-fashion can often times be more expensive than fast fashion because the true cost is calculated in the price tag. But buying with a conscience shouldn’t break you budget. That’s why we’ve rounded-up eight great eco-styles for under $30.
Nkuku, Hard Angle Bangles. $26.
Handmade by craftsmen in India using Sheesham wood and resin, we love the contrast of the wood–a natural feel with a sharp look. You can wear the bangles alone, together or layered with your other favorite bracelets.
Etrican, Organic Cotton Flower Print Skirt. $29.
This light organic cotton skirt with an elastic waist band brightens up any rainy spring day. Wear it high up on the waist for an elegant look or just above the hips for a more casual one.
BTWN Wind + Water, Reflective Gold Dangle Earrings. $25.
As Heidi Klum might say, “the ultimate hard and soft.” These earrings are sophisticated and edgy. Handmade using diamond plated brass nuts that hang from gold chain, they can be worn day to night.
Sosume, Scoop Tee. $29.95.
Certified organic fairtrade tee, this scoop neck tee is an absolute wardrobe staple, and the perfect cut scoop neck tee needs no introduction. Choose anyone of these three colors and it will soon become your go-to-tee. Fabric from India, tees made in Melbourne, Australia.
Kerala Crafts, Rosa Fair Trade Knickers. $6.85.
What is not to love about these bikini style panties with a lovely floral based print. 100% cotton, made under fair trade conditions by Malabar Memesahib Welfare. The panties come in a pink organza drawstring purse as delicate at the knickers themselves.
