PARLEY FOR THE OCEAN SUNGLASSES
Get your inner Galang on with these glasses designed by M.I.A, which are made from reclaimed fishing gear collected by costal communities and repurposed into snazzy specs. Each pair comes with two interchangeable lens colours, and the frames are injection moulded in Italy, minimising waste in the production process. 100% of the proceeds fund future island clean ups, which you can join here.
Ocean plastic is an ever increasing problem – not only does it alter habitats and enter the food sources for wildlife such as sea birds, fish and mammals, it means that these ecosystem’s ability to adapt to climate change is reduced. The plastic particles in the sea are unable to biodegrade, meaning they will be floating around in the ocean for thousands of years to come.
GREEN PEOPLE REEF SAFE SUNCREAM
Suncream is more important than ever to stop UVA and UVB rays giving us all wrinkles and worse. This suncream is made with natural and organic vegan ingredients, free from nasties, not tested on animals, water repellent and is presented in a fully recyclable tube made from sugar cane with a low carbon emissions profile. Don’t leave home without it!
If you absolutely must buy a new pair of sliders this summer, we can’t recommend these enough: made from sugar cane, the worlds first carbon negative EVA, these sliders from Allbirds are fully sustainable and incredibly comfortable. Allbirds are committed to reducing their carbon footprint near zero by 2030 – and are already over halfway to their goal.
POSITIVE IMPACT SUMMER DRESSES
Redressing the way we consume fashion, luxury preloved retail sites like Reluxe Fashion, Vestiare, The Real Real and Hurr are the only place to pick up cute (or sexy, or slutty, or whatever your summer vibe is) dresses for summer. Whether you’re looking to buy or rent, there’s absolutely no need to buy new from a store in 2023.
Made from recycled industrial plastic, collected by volunteers and melted down in their Soho based recycling studio, these grinders are an essential purchase for those in need of a relaxing summer.
