Bahar Shahpar Flower Dress

First to recommend

Description

Bahar Shahpar, the creative mind behind Agricult, is now designing under her own name. She has created a smart collection of neutral solids and colorful prints fashioned into empire-waist dresses, easy wearing chemises, cinched waist shorts and pencil skirts. The empire waist dress in a floral print silk will easily be making it’s way onto the must-have list of several eco-fashionistas. Shahpar continues to incorporate the sustainable practices she developed under the now defunct Agricult into her eponymous line. The collection utilizes organic cotton, bamboo, tencel, Ahimsa silk and vintage trims. (via Inhabitat)

They are recycled wine bottles turned into fancy vases. My most favorite part, they are green and feel smooth and give a sense of being fresh.

Poppy Cotton Vintage Fabric Pillow

First to recommend

4 people recommended this item

Description

We just can’t get enough of Melissa Cotton. Melissa has been featured several times on Inhabitat now - most famously as the author of the ever popular How-To-Make-a-Terrarium article that we ran last year, but the girl is more than just a creative green thumb. Melissa also has a line of home accessories that are as playful and inventive as her terrariums, called Poppycotton.

Inspired by the colorful (and slightly creepy) pop-art aesthetic of 1960’s cinema like Rosemary’s Baby and The Stepford Wives, Melissa scours flea markets and vintage stores looking for bold vintage fabrics that hearken back to an era when homes weren’t afraid of a little pop and color. She recycles these unique retro textiles into vibrant pillows, lampshades and wall hangings, creating the perfect colorful accent pieces for an otherwise minimalist room. (via Inhabitat)

Terra Plana Shoes

5 people recommended this item

Description

Despite the stereotypes, “eco-friendly footwear” doesn’t have to mean hemp sandals or Birkenstocks. British shoe company Terra Plana has been putting its own unique stamp on eco-friendly style since 2001, with their quirky shoes made from environmentally sustainable materials like recycled rubber, vegetable tanned leathers, and recycled Pakistani quilts.
