Simple Shoes – With all of the over-hyped products on the market, how can you find an eco brand to trust? Simple Shoes believes that HOW they make their shoes is just as important as WHY they make them, so you can believe they are finding more responsible ways of doing business all the time. And with recycled materials like carpet padding, leather, wool and tires, you know each shoe is going to be something ultra special. Above: Women’s Carnival Microperf.

Sprout Watches – Sprout doesn’t believe in lying to you – they would rather promise less and deliver more. But as a timepiece company with more than 50 years of experience in the business, they wanted to become more environmentally aware and make a greener watch. Starting this fall, Sprout will offer watches with fish skin bands from salmon and carp, handsome leather made from the food industry by-product of non-endangered species.

Allison Parris – Designer Allison Parris doesn’t think moral values and beautiful clothing need to be two separate ideas. Her feminine and sophisticated eco-friendly designs are made from organic silks and recycled materials like polyethylene in a Manhattan factory. Above: Strapless Party Dress

reco jeans – When using recycled materials isn’t enough, what else can a company do to contribute to the eco-friendly lifestyle? reco jeans uses recycled denim and packing; non-toxic rivets, zippers and buttons; and tags hung on belt loops to eliminate the use of plastic. And they believe in honesty too – each pair of jeans is made from 60 percent recycled fabric, and they won’t tell you differently.
