Autumn Hot Trends in Eco Clothing

There's nothing more exciting than stepping into colder months wrapped up in stylish pieces. Knowing the fabrics are sourced ethically with welfare of the planet in mind, the comforting feeling spikes even higher for us. 

If you are on the look out for some new contemporary additions to your autumn wardrobe, check out Braintree Clothing. I love how they rethought a retail business and created an ultimately sustainable model of manufacturing clothing.
Using, as they call them, HERO FABRICS such as hemp, bamboo, rayon and organic cotton they design on of a kind garments that look good and do good to your own health as well as the wellbeing of the planet.

NO ORDINARY CHECK SHIRT
Take a look at the Macquire Check Shirt pictured below. This contemporary quirky style is nothing like the ones you find on the high street. With unique back detail this shirt has all the potential to become your favourite item. Plus - due to the natural fabrics used, it gets softer and softer with every wear. Now that's a true power of a hemp hero fabric for you.

Hot Trend - Eco Stripy Skirt | Organic Cotton Throw

WARMED UP BY FORCE-OF-NATURE

Just one new cardigan can make such a difference when it comes to updating the wardrobe for the season. My pick is an eye catching, hand designed fair isle pattern throw. _pictured below). Balanced pastel colours are usually the spring/summer favourites but Braintree Clothinng offers a very refreshing approach to autumn knits. Those park walks are sure to become more way more energising when enveloped in an organic cotton and wool blend.

Eco-Friendly Interior - Home Decor Edit

With spring season approaching fast wouldn't you just love a fresh look in the kitchen or bathroom? Before you joyously start spending on the latest releases though, why not be more careful with your home decor choices and see what ethical manufacturers have prepared to suit your style.


RATTAN,  IRON AND COTTON

Eco-Friendly Home Decor
It's no secret that mirrors can work miracles for even the tiniest of home space.  If you were  to pick just one item for your home this season, make it a mirror framed with sustainable material, like rattan. Rattan is a naturally renewable palm that grows in abundance in tropical parts of Africa and Asia. A win-win situation.
For those who'd rather opt for metal in their redecoration plans, this Lace Skirt Pendant must be mentioned. Crochet pattern crafted from heavy iron is a combination that can take you right to one of the scenes from One Thousand and One Night Stories that takes place within the magical ambience of your home at a simple switch of the lights.
There's something for amateurs of snuggles in the eco-friendly department too. I picked the Appalachian Throw (see picture) made with 80% recycled cotton that will totally transform your lounge from dull to contemporary cosy.

ECO IS IN THE HOUSE 

Eco Kitchenwaree
Bamboo is becoming increasingly popular all over the world. This fastest growing plant found on our planet can be used to manufacture anything from flooring panels, bathtubs and golf tees through textiles and paper to matches and beer. Its sustainability, versatility of uses and attractive appearance is potentially a saviour for exploited Mother Earth. I can't live without my bamboo salad bowl, can you?
Good old glass is another building material that is rising from the ashes (literally) after the great big PET craze. Recyclable, reusable practical and pretty, glass jars can preserve any of your kitchen delicacies in sheer style.

ECOSPRESS YOURSELF

Ecological Decor

Leading an eco-friendly lifestyle isn't just one seasonal trend. It is a responsible choice that makes both the environment cleaner and people from less privileged countries happier. Eco responsibility doesn't feel like a chore knowing you can have tons of fun trying to convert your home into an enviable temple of creativity and style. Whatever it is, quirky, refined or rustic, there's something for everyone, just be willing to find your eco mojo. The hilarious doormat made from flip-flops is most definitely my next purchase.
