Here’s my roundup of lean, mean and green fashion finds for this week…

Seven Ply – Lynn W designs rockin recycled jewelry — handmade, one of a kind earrings, rings and necklaces from old, beat-up, recycled skateboards. Pictured above, Love to Love You, (with sterling chain, $26).

Hooded anorak style jacket comes in low-key green and has a removable, quilted vest inside.  Made from 82% organic cotton; 18% decycled polyester with an easy relaxed fit.  Love that graph check print. (Above, $275) @ Greenloop

Now here’s a sumptuous serving of eco chic style — with carbon emissions from all stages of their organic cotton line’s lifecycle calculated by Piqqo, you can be sure miksaniCollection is 100% carbon neutral.  Garment emissions are offset through the Scolel Té project in Mexico; (above).

Founded in 2002 by Katy and Philip Leakey, the LeakeyCollection offers finely handcrafted jewelry and interior design accessories by the Maasai men and women of Kenya, East Africa.   Using environmentally sustainable materials such as fallen wood, grass and porcelain, you’ll find beautiful Zuluwood beads, bracelets and necklaces like the strands of Winter Warmth (above).

And to roundout this week’s roundup – we found some high performance vegan sneaks to rock your eco world while you bop around the landscape.

Saucony‘s Jazz low pro is made of hemp canvas and comes in a variety of vegan friendly colors:)  For both the guys, (above), as well as the ladies, ($55).

Love the lines of this sleek floor lamp created in renewable bamboo by Brooklyn-based ALS Designs.  The Bella lamp features a kraft paper drum lampshade and 3-way brass lamp socket.  The base is constructed with urea formaldehyde-free bamboo and finished with zero VOC, water resistant, 100% natural Tung Oil.  Make it even greener by adding a CFL as needed.

The recycled remains of a desktop computer become a timeless testament to relentless technological advancement – or a symbol of our insatiable compulsion to buy next year’s model.  These clocks also make a nice conversation piece for anyone still working in the tech industry.

The clock’s dial is actual a mirror-finished disk platter, (not a plastic CD), with brass hour & minute hands and a zigzag black second hand.  The base is a piece of the circuit board and the hard drive’s former cover.  Artist signed and numbered.

Roughly 4″ wide by 6″ tall.

all this for $34 @ techoart’s esty shop

Designer Stephanie Huffaker created these colorful bangles exclusively for one of our favorite online etailers, BTC Elements.

The chunky, textured eco accessories are made from vintage bangles and wound, upcycled plastic bags.

New Yorker Stephanie collected the upcycled plastic bags and materials from friends, family and the Brooklyn freecycle network.

We’ve already listed Rocio Romero’s LV prefab homes among our 5 favorite eco homes and now they’ve gone and created more options for designing your own cost effective green domicile with the introduction of their LV2 line.

The LV2 is a two story add-on that allows you to stack LV Series, (LVS single story) units.  You can now stack any LVS unit on top of any other to create your own custom home.  LV add-ons are custom connections between LVS units, therefore you will need to engage Romero’a design staff to integrate the add-ons when you’re expanding your existing LVS home.  The LV2 is exactly the same square feet and pricing as regular LV kit units.  The design employs traditional construction materials and techniques, so, once delivered, any general contractor can build an LV Home.

Single unit LV home kits start around $37,000 for an 1,159 square foot unit — the units can be customized and combined in a wide variety of combination and styles — with roofing, windows and exterior decks/stairs, site work, building lot, etc. not included.  LV units can be delivered almost anywhere, and because of the nature of the on-site construction, qualify for a traditional mortgage.

This chump change holder probably expresses how we all feel right now.

Made with 95 percent recycled post consumer material, perfect for tucking away those coupons, IOU’s and debit receipts…haha (4.3 inches wide x 3.2 inches high).  $3.99 @ blueQ.com

While I’m not nearly as cute as Sheena Matheiken, mastermind of the Uniform Project, I can certainly get behind her message.  Her plan: wear the same dress every day for a year.  Well, not exactly the same dress.  She has seven identical dresses, one for each day of the week.  But the point is that fashion doesn’t always have to mean over-consumption.  Sheena makes each day’s outfit unique and cute by adding jackets, layers, jewelry and more; all from second hand stores, family or friends.  The product is a great example of creativity and sustainability to combat a world of disposable fashion.

Sheena is just one example of what the industry is calling “slow fashion,” an idea taken from the slow foods concept.  Fast fashion is mass produced pieces in places like Forever 21, Nordstrom’s, Macy’s and more.  Consumers want a cheaper version of what they see on the runway.  Slow fashion takes a look at this mass produced fashion industry (the parallels to food are infinite) and tries to slow this whole trend cycle.  Sheena shows us that enhanced small changes and creativity to an outfit can produce an infinite number of great outfits and looks.

Fashion is slowly picking up on this movement.  Companies like Slowear and Whistles are starting to embrace the idea of unique pieces, but the real pressure should come from us.  Do you really need a new sweater?  Are you buying clothes that rip or get ruined within a few years?  Try investing in well made clothes that are versatile.  Trust me, no one will notice if you wear the same pair of jeans two days in a row, or a cute shirt twice in a week.  We’re all much too busy to notice things like that.

People like Sheena give us extreme examples of slow fashion, but we can make it real in our own lives.  Instructables is a great source of inspiration for making unused clothes new again!

Good looking, casual duds made out of earth friendly bamboo and organic cotton — produced Fair Trade in factories powered by wind and solar power — and hand-printed using fully-washable, non-toxic water-based inks – nice.  We’ve pictured only a couple of U.K. based, Tribe’s designs, but they offer a growing variety of eco tees and hoodies.   Find more on their website.  I like their style.
