Green Breeze

Stop by the Green Breeze in Birmingham this weekend and check out all the eco-goods. AShirtBag will be on the corner of Merrill and Old Woodward between 12-6pm with amazing bags stuffed with goodies from Tigi, Randys Granola and more all benefiting Community House and AShirtBag.

Karim Rashid Bobble

This classic water bottle designed by Karim Rashid also has a filter and as you know carrying a re-useable water cuts back on waste in land fills. Its also under $10 and cool looking. Check it out at www.waterbobble.com

Cork Helmut

I viewed this cork helmut somewhere online and really thought it was interesting. Cork is a material that is being looked at in some many different ways and its applications are expanding from just the houseware markets. www.notcot.com

DKNY Pure fragrance

DKNY Pure has a new earth friendly soft scent ,with a cool raindrop shaped bottle and the package that it comes in, both inside and out is recyclable. Its nice to see that product designers in the cosmetics industry are developing new ways to package stuff without causing tons of waste.

Christopher Raeburn



From old hot air balloons to unused army uniforms, Christopher Raeburns eco-friendly line of clothing sure hits the spot for fall. As Margiela has done for years, Raeburn takes found unused clothing items and makes coats and jackets that seam far more wearable than the Maison and quite a bit cheaper. www.christopherraeburn.com
