THE RESPONSIBLE GIFT GUIDE
ITEMS THEY WILL LOVE FOREVER
EDITOR: Julia Restoin Roitfeld
IT’S HARD TO CELEBRATE THE HOLIDAY SEASON WITHOUT SPREADING LOVE BY SPOILING OUR LOVED ONES. HERE ARE A FEW OPTIONS TO INDULGE AND SPOIL… RESPONSIBLY.
A GO TO TOTE
1 MILLION PLASTIC BAGS ARE BIN EVERY MINUTE AFTER BEING USED FOR AN AVERAGE OF 12-15 MINUTES.
MAKE A CHANGE BY GIFTING A CHIC TOTE (NEW AND SUSTAINABLY MADE, OR SECOND HAND) AND SPREAD THE WORD TO SAY NO TO SINGLE USE PLASTIC BAGS.
VINTAGE GUCCI TOTE, VESTIAIRE COLLECTIVE
I AM A PLASTIC BAG, (MADE OF RECYCLED PLASTIC BAGS) , ANYA HINDMARCH
A LIL’ LEATHER
LEATHER IS A WARDROBE STAPLE. HOWEVER, IT CAN BE HARD TO FIND LEATHER THAT HAS BEEN THOUGHTFULLY AND SUSTAINABLY CRAFTED. EITHER GO FOR A VEGAN ALTERNATIVE, A PIECE THAT HAS BEEN MADE WITH THE ENVIRONMENT IN MIND, OR A PRODUCT THAT GIVES BACK TO CHARITIES OR ECO-FRIENDLY ORGANIZATIONS.
SAY I LOVE YOU, RESPONSIBLY
MAKE A BIG IMPRESSION WITH A A VINTAGE JEWELRY PIECE, OR A LAB GROWN DIAMOND.
WE LOVE KIMAI RECYCLED JEWELRY AND LAB GROWN DIAMONDS. THE FRIDA RING IS ONE OF OUR FAVORITES.
THIS PAIR OF DIAMOND EARINGS ($2,494.92) IS ONE OF THE MANY AMAZING VINTAGE PIECES FOUND ON VESTIAIRE COLLECTIVE.
HIGH QUALITY CASHMERE TO KEEP YOU WARM FOR YEARS
A PIECE OF CASHMERE IS A GUARANTEED CROWD PLEASER, AND SOMETHING ONE SHOULD HOPE TO HAVE IN THEIR WARDROBE ONE DAY. SEVERAL COMPANIES ARE MAKING SUSTAINABLE CASHMERE PIECES THAT WILL KEEP YOUR LOVED ONES WARM THIS WINTER AND THE NEXT TO COME.
