December 3, 2013 0

Today’s next giveaway is a good one – The Underground Chic is offering a beautiful Ginny Orange Crush ‘Birkin’ style handbag! Yay for vegan, sustainable fashion!

The Ginny handbag is geared toward women of all ages who want to express the more whimsical side of their personality. The Underground Chic Ginny: Orange Crush bag conveys a sense of sophistication and confidence and tricks your eyes into thinking it is made of leather and metal trim. Once you get closer you will realize the ‘Birkin’ style handbag has been photo printed on 100% RPET fabric (polyester made from recycled plastic bottles) and it’s vegan too. So fun!

The Underground Chic is an eco-conscious company that takes it responsibility to contribute towards protecting and respecting our environment seriously. And as an added bonus, a tree is planted for every bag that is purchased.

I have seen this bag up close and personal and it is super fun and well made – I think it will add a pop of color and whimsy to your wardrobe while showing your sustainable side too!

Target Introduces the Target Sustainable Product Standard

October 24, 2013 0

Beginning in October, Target will be asking all of it’s household cleaners, baby care and personal and beauty care vendors to complete a UL Transparency Platform assessment powered by GoodGuide. The goal is for Target to take a step towards more transparency, which will lead to more sustainability in the future.

As the Product Standard matures it will trickle into Target’s product placement and merchandising decisions. I am excited to see more sustainable, eco-friendly products in Target’s stores in the future!

What do you think?
