(above) Funky chic — designer Stephanie Teague’s Pretty Birdie’s Hemp Silk Layer Dress is made from gathered layers of gorgeous, sustainable hemp silk. The dress features hand sewn flowers made from organic cotton gauze or peace silk and trim that’s organic lace. The hemp muslin belt is hand dyed with eco friendly dyes. Quite a departure from the scruffy hemp-laden fare of yesteryear … find it @ stephanieteague Etsy shop

(above) Sign of the times … Eco-fashion visionary Gary Harvey creates his high-fashion works from the most unlikely, and often mundane, recycled materials — like the 30 folded copies of the “Financial Times” literally used to construct the gown above.

Right in step … Mohop Shoes makes their cherry wedge sandal from Pará wood that is harvested from sustainably managed plantations and has been dyed a cherry color with eco-friendly, water-based dyes. The sandal features durable black rubber soling with recycled content and a padded footbed with a gold abstract motif screenprinted on espresso color faux suede.

If steampunk and vintage are more your style, this antique button bracelet (above) may suit your fancy. The bracelet is constructed of eleven upcycled antique buttons circa 1860-1910 set on an antiqued brass bracelet, and a lovely array of hues — burgundy, gold, rust, copper and brass. The buttons include flowers, beautifully detailed abstract designs and picture buttons. $53 @ designer Creek Van Houten’s Compass Rose Design Etsy shop.
