For planet-friendly, funky finds visit regeneration in LA or online.
This fun boutique offers a mix of one-of-a-kind, handmade goods by artisans, as well as kicky pieces from the big guys. They carry hip clothes, gifts, accessories, jewelry, and household items that are recycled, organic, sustainable, fairtrade or sweatshop-free. Several items stand out — I love their Chindi Ochre Shoulder Bag made from reclaimed cotton broadcloth, ($25); and the Zipper Necklace with hand-blown glass pendant ($45) looks hot. Their newspaper vase makes an incredible housewarming gift ($32); and the biodegradable bags ($6.50 for 25) and under the sink bin ($12) are perfect for your obsessive recycler/composter lover. All these cool finds @ housewares. The eco chic folks of regeneration donate One Percent for the Planet, so help spread the good karma all around. (sorry — pooch is not for sale)
