How cool! This bracelet is made from wood scraps from a local (to South Carolina) guitar shop, with metal rods holding it all together and a scrap copper clasp. And since it’s handmade, you can specify the length. Available at Pretty Birdie’s Etsy shop.
(see the ring she’s wearing? that’s also recycled wood…)

Hayley, designer behind Green Grechen favorite, Heidi & Seek, let me know this morning that she’d relaunched her etsy site with all new designs and a new concept: instead of creating one-offs, she’s designed 5 styles in different colors & sizes (up to XL) so everyone can find one to fit their personal style and body. Everything is still made from reclaimed materials and she will be adding new styles every so often – so check back!!
Here are a few of my favorites:
Aren’t they cute??

I’ve posted a lot of recycled leather handbags on Green Grechen – what can I say, I never get tired of finding lovely leather handbags – and as a follow-up to a popular post I did last year on “Reclaimed Chic: The Best Recycled Leather Handbags,” here’s a new rundown of my favorite recycled leather handbag designers:
Ashley Watson was the first designer I found a couple of years ago working with recycled leather. I may be wrong, but in my opinion, she paved the way for others to follow, and consistently produces unique, fashionable, high-quality recycled leather bags. She’s sold at nearly every online eco-boutique you can find now – Kaight, Beklina, and Nimli have some of the best selection. My favorite is this Kestrel bag at Beklina for $285:
reMade USA is a new recycled leather handbag designer who’s coming strong on to the market. Aside from selling in her own webshop, some of her designs will soon be sold on Barney’s Co-Op. Cool! The Sonoma is one of my favorite designs – the duffel is always an interesting shape. ($395)

I’m all about the tunic now. I know they’ve been “back” for quite some time, but really, how much easier and more comfortable can you get than a long tunic over a pair of skinny jeans or leggings? I love this one especially because 1. it’s made with hemp (the only TRULY sustainable fabric IMO) and organic cotton 2. it comes in fun colors and 3. the details – an open back, button-up sleeves…
And I want to BE in that picture. Look at how blue the sky is!!!

I totally didn’t mean for this to turn into eco-friendly underwear week, but why not? If there’s any other part of my wardrobe I totally neglect besides jewelry, it’s lingerie. I buy multiples of what I love, then don’t even think about buying more until the underwires are poking out of my bras and the elastic is worn on my underwear; new lingerie is really the last thing I like to go shopping for.
But I’m definitely finding more and more cute eco-friendly options – like this hemp/organic cotton racerback cami bra with a cutout in the back (available at etsy):
