In searching the land for fabulous bags that are easy on the planet, we came across Love Mert and it was love at first sight. The mission of Love Mert is to create accessories that stand apart from the crowd while putting an emphasis on environmental and social responsibility. Each limited edition or one-of-a-kind accessory is a collage of recycled, vintage and found materials that have painstakingly been collected from many a random locale. The clutch bags have a metal spring frame that pops open and stays open for easy access, then snaps shut for a secure closure. The tote is perfect for a shopping jaunt so you can stash your wallet as well as a few finds along the way. Each bag is hand crafted by Melissa, the designer and creator behind this lovely line, and the care she takes with each bag shows.






Summer is in full swing, and what better time to stock up on sustainable summer staples from Loomstate that during Greenloop’s Annual Summer Sale, running now through July 31st. Whether you are headed to the beach or the mountains, you just can’t go wrong with denim shorts, like these Mantra Shorts or a pair of easy cargo-style, poplin Beach Shorts, paired with an organic cotton, graphic Loomstate T-Shirt. Beach Pants or Beach Skirt paired with a Vintage Graphic Polo are a sure thing for fun in the sand & sun followed by cocktails on the deck. Cool in the evenings?

Don’t miss the incredible savings on “Undesigned” summer wear by Carol Young! Choose from the very hip, Peek-A-Boo Shrug, which looks fabulous over the Convertible Halter Top, both made from re-spun recycled cotton. Pair with jeans, khakis, or go Carol Young from head to toe with a pair of Linen Gauchos or the Linen Petra Pocket Skirt. Linen is the perfect summer fabric, breathable, lightweight, and looks great even after some rumpling.

Our good friends Heather and Jen from Ideal Bite, the fabulous daily e-newsletter packed with bite-sized, eco-living tips (and really good ones at that), both sported Greenloop duds while telling America on The Today Show how to have a “Green”…Red, White and Blue day. Wondering what they were wearing? Jen is wearing the Celine Halter dress by Passenger Pigeon and Heather is wearing the Rue Colonial Jacket by Grace and Cello. If you don’t see them anymore on the site, not to fret. We have several other great pieces by both designers, and will be getting more fabulous frocks from both brands in the coming months, so be sure to check back soon!
