Clean Spirited & Super Cute
Style doesn't have to come at the expense of sustainability. This thoughtful brand keeps track of its impact on the earth while keeping its customers cute as a button.
In a world of fast fashion and ever-changing trends, being stylish and being eco-friendly can sometimes feel at odds with one another. Luckily for thoughtful style mavens, though, companies like Clean Spirited are bridging the gap between going green and staying chic.
Like any good fashionista worth her weight in accessories, the company's creators are detail-oriented to a tee. They've developed a five-point rating system to let customers know whether or not each piece they sell is natural, recycled, locally (US) made, fair-trade and has a humanitarian impact (like a give-back program, charitable donations, et al). Before you buy, you know exactly what you're getting, where it came from, how it was made and how much it affects your footprint. If knowledge is power, this site puts you in a position of total command.
From clothing for men, women and kids to home goods, jewelry and gifts, Clean Spirited has something for everyone. Even sweeter: it selects a different charity each month to receive $1 from each order. This month's charity is Acterra, an environmental non-profit serving the Silicon Valley -- perfectly in vogue, really, since green is quite clearly the new black.
About Acterra
Clean Spirited's selected charity for the month of September is Acterra, which offers several thousand volunteer opportunities each year to provide people with tangible, hands-on activities they can do to improve the environment. It serves the Silicon Valley area of California, focusing on habitat restoration and carbon reduction.
