GREEN Christmas @ One of a Kind Show
November 19th, 2008 | posted by Rachel S | Posted in Eco-Fashion
The One of a Kind Show’s Green Neighbourhood has almost doubled in size since its inception in 2007. It features some of Canada’s most innovative craftspeople including:
Rabbit Green – Dismayed by the amount of kids clothes made overseas, cheaply and in unknown working conditions, they set out create it on their own! Their original, eco-conscious and cool threads for tots are made from reclaimed clothing and each are up-cycled into an original one-of-a-kind item.
Ironwood Bowls – Inspired by the beauty of the natural surroundings of New Brunswick woodlands, their bowls are showcased in a form that can be appreciated by people around the world. Cutting methods from the 1800′s are used which allows for very little wasted wood.
League of Lovers and Thieves – Motivated by the evolving state of nature and natural environment, the men’s and women’s fashions are made from sustainable materials including soy blends, organic cotton, hemp, bamboo and organic wool.
Earth to Body – Earth to Body’s handmade all natural skin care cosmetics contain no mineral oils, synthetic substances, synthetic preservatives or dyes. Their products contain only medicinal herbs, essential oils, natural emollients and natural emulsifiers. These products are carefully blended with proven age-old recipes to moisturize, revitalize, and soften the skin.
Truth – Truth makes 100% animal friendly belts, handbags, bracelets, necklaces and bamboo T-shirts. A favorite of many vegans and vegetarians, all Truth products are made in Toronto.
ZUT DESIGN – Modern design with a craftsman’s touch. Keeping in mind their goal of protecting the environment, all of the products are made out of recycled rubber and are functional, long lasting and show off the latest in design. They offer products for the office, school, home and travel.
