I was going to make Hickoree’s Summer Sale this week’s Friday Find, but then I realized there wouldn’t be anything left by then, so you’re getting the heads-up today. Don’t say I never did anything for ya. Tons of brands, plenty of sizes, and markdowns as high as 70%. Looks like the weekend’s come early. Read More »

The Mediterranée Sneakers from France’s Veja are made in a FLO-Cert and EcoLabel certified factory in Brazil out of Fair Trade certified, 100% organic cotton, and sustainably harvested Amazonian rubber (all good things, I assure you). Designed to be a “hybrid between a boat shoe, a plimsoll sneaker, and an espadrille” the Mediterranées have summer style in spades, and an eco pedigree even the most granola can get behind.

As much as I love wool, there are definitely times when I can do without the itchiness. Enter the Organic Cotton Sweater from Germany’s Hessnatur.

Well, for one, the Hessnatur jacket is made from 100% organic cotton, and treated with all-natural beeswax, so it’s a lot more earth-friendly. Two, it’s cut and sewn in a certified Fair Trade factory in the EU, so you know the people that made it are well treated and paid an equitable wage. Three, its plaid liner is made from 100% virgin wool instead of cotton, so it’s warmer. And four, the Hessnatur jacket costs almost $100 less. Read More »

I admit these are a little hippie-ish, but if there’s any season to get in touch with your inner granola, summer is it. (Right guys? Guys? Hello?) The Waxed Cotton Bracelets from Thai Wristbands are handmade in Chiangmai, Thailand using naturally waxed cotton thread. The color options are plentiful (over ten), the price is super low (around $7.00 per, with free international shipping), and the profits go to a good place (directly into the pockets of the people that make them, according to Fair Trade standards).
