Eco Fashion World

A true visionary, Coco Chanel was one of the first designers to make costume jewelry an object of high fashion desire. Today, oversized baubles and colorful bangles of questionable quality can be found for pennies in a number of stores to satisfy that desire for an instant fashion update…and will probably end up in the trash or gathering dust in your room.

What if you could get the same uplifting fashion kick with fair trade, sustainable, recycled jewelry created by some of today’s top designers? This is just what you get with two of this fall’s brand new jewelry collections!

Pipa Small is a name that will ring a bell for jewelry enthusiasts everywhere, this designer who has already collaborated with Gucci and Chloe has now created an exclusive collection with Made for Nicole Farhi. The gorgeous necklaces, bracelets and earrings are sourced and created in disadvantaged communities across East Africa from recycled brass plates. And if this exclusive collection is a bit out of your budget, check out the rest of the site where you can find beautiful, original creations for as little as 8£!

If it’s big bold beads you’re looking for, look no further than the new Catarina Vassalo for Enamore. The Betty Bedrock necklace and bracelet, made from leopard print bamboo offcuts are the perfect way to introduce some discreet animal print in your wardrobe while playing with the graphic appeal of black and white.
