Veja

For a refined version of the sneaker, check out all the orGLAMic shoes made by Veja. Designed in Paris, this company works with small Brazilian producers of organic cotton and wild rubber from the Brazilian Amazon to create a variety of hip, chic sneaks. The Indigenos made of vegetable-tanned leather would be my choice for any orGLAMic man in my life, as I think they are youthful and refined at the same time. I also love that could easily transition from work to play to a night on the town. Click here to browse the entire orGLAMic collection and here to find a worldwide location near you.

If there is rehab for purses, I belong there. While I try to keep my consumption to a minimum (let’s keep it green, people!) it is nice to know that my splurges can also be eco-conscious purchases. Erin Templeton makes some of the most orGLAMic purses I’ve found. The Side Saddle, pictured above, is my favorite among the ten different styles available. The classic bucket bag is trendy once again, and while the bag shown above is made of buffalo hide, it is also available out of recycled leather otherwise destined for a landfill.

Kid Basix

Kid Basix has redesigned the children’s sippy cup in a manner that makes our orGLAMic hearts flutter. This modern, eco-friendly take on the dowdy (and BPA-filled!) plastic cups of the past is made from non-leeching, toxin-free stainless steel, while the detailing uses BPA- and phthalate-free plastic. These have passed my tumble-test to assure that they won’t leak when held upside-down, thrown or even jumped on, and little kids seem to love the thoughtfully shaped handles and sleeve. Click here to purchase The Safe Sippy, or one of it’s orGLAMic cousins The Safe Sippy 2, The Safe Starter or The Safe Sporter.

Pendleton

As the days of summer amble along, add some classic Americana decor to your home with Pendleton. Known for their classic blankets and such, this company also offers this whimsical yet staid Horshoe Lamp and Shade. Recycled trotter horseshoes are hand-welded into these one-of-a-kind lamps that are topped with a handmade burlap shade. I think a pair of these would make excellent bedside lamps in a light-filled, stark, white room. While you’re browsing for orGLAMic wares, also take a peek at the delightful Riata and Stripe Easy Care blankets made of ‘eco-wise’ wool.

All my Manly Monday readers rejoice – Elwood offers hip, orGLAMic apparel for men! Designed with the skateboarding culture in mind, all the items would look great on an everyday guy (whether you can pull a backside 360 kickflip or not!) Elwood utilizes sustainable fabrics such as organic cotton, bamboo, hemp and recycled yarns to create a wide variety of great pieces ranging from T-shirts to denim to my favorite plaid button downs. In addition, Elwood is a 1% For the Planet Member, donating at least 1% of the company’s annual revenues to environmental organizations worldwide.
