Green Thumb: Cultivating Eco-Style with 8 Green Accessories

By Nicole Schlomann

How hard can it be to shop eco-friendly when you're buying something you already love? While scouting out solar panels and biodegradable flatware may not be your forte, snapping up these green accessories is a breeze.

Sustainable wood-framed sunnies are a fresh take on a retro look, while Ashley Watson's recycled leather bags and Mociun's potato-printed organic cotton scarves help reduce that carbon footprint in style. Wear your heart on your sleeve with recycled jewelry like Mana Bernandes' tribal necklace or Rust Belt's lacy gold band. Kyyote's re-used wood and Bakelite pendant earrings, as well as Matt and Nat's laptop case, are surprisingly sleek. And if you have to make footprints, why not make them with Cri de Couer's vegan flats? A tree is planted for every pair sold. There—now wasn't that easy?
