Eco Chic product News
I have had the most wonderful Birthday month, and for my presents my adoreable friends brought me some really fine eco gifts. I don’t do as many product reviews as I used too, as the market is so flooded. But I thought these were such fine products that I just had to make an exception. Also with regards to the eco handbag, there are some pretty important issues that I mention regarding water supply and organic cotton. So this is what persuaded me to write the reviews. I hope you enjoy them! Thanks for a great Birthday everyone!
For my favourite RAW chocolate, please see EcoChicLife.co.UK, in the Eco Sexy Bodies section in Real Fashion, for the low down on Cocao chocolate and its health benefits. So usually I adore the RAW chocolate company based in Brighton. The latest RAW choccy favourite has been made by Conscious Chocolate, Fruit Fantasy, and other magic products in the range also have been tasted and are very scrummy, It’s a thicker taste, and more unrefined to the RAW chocolate co. But it has all the beautiful hand-made touches and natural ingredients, is pesticide free, Gluten Free, Sugar free, Gluten free approved too.
ECO handbags! Apart from very chic catwalk eco designs from Vivienne Westwood, or ethical RAFE from Hong Kong, my latest bag was from The Hemp Store in Camden. A handbag made by Braintree, and this little hemp bag is made from 55% HEMP and 45% organic Cotton. Although my views on organic Cotton, unless twinned with a conscious ethical water system and as long as it doesn’t take over ground and underground supplies - which affect any local communities water supplies- which can sadly be the case with organic cotton farming. But Organic Cotton in my opinioin is much better for planet, and the people producing and milling the cotton plant, so it gets my approval.
There is the also very valid argument that for people working on such organic cotton farms, have a much less polluted environment and have substantial local community benefits, as many of the organic farms are part of a bigger local philanthropic approach to local community, and provide benefits in other ways, But it is the ultimate goal, to balance water and people interests at all times. There is no point for the organic cotton we buy in the UK, and in the West to make us feel better, if the local people from where the raw material was scoured drained the local water supplies beyond capacity for agricultural use and indigenous local peoples water supplies become too low to sustain the communities that the organic cottin trade is wishing to help. The bag though is very girlie, so very cute, and is definitely my favourite. Eco Fibre Fashion, affordable, and in Camden – just on the Camden Lock in London. The long term benefits will be great for the planet as its a huge step in the right direction.
Eco Chewing GUM – CHIZA produce fine Organic MAYAN Rainforest chewing gum. It comes in biodegradable packaging, which is very earthy and beautiful. I adore eco packaging, it seems so much more care has been put into the style and pictorial design, and this one is a winner.
The information on the package say’s the following, and I think this is a great way to end this snippet of product reviews–
"Natural Gum base’s main ingredient is latex, sustainably obtained from tall chicozapote trees in the Mayan Rainforest, of the Gran Peten in south-eastern Mexico. Chicza is a radically different chewing gum base, along with wild and native fruits, herbs and spices. Chewing Chicza contributes to the conservation of the Mayan rainforests, and at the same time improves the livelihoods of the proud chicleros and their families”
