Accessories are very popular items in our everyday wear, but they’re least talked about when it comes to sustainable living. This is not the right approach and we would like you to reconsider your attitude towards accessories, as well as switch to eco-friendly alternatives.
What materials are the safest for accessories?
Out of all materials there are we recommend wood. Wood is a natural, sustainable, renewable and reusable material. It leaves a very light carbon footprint, as well as easy and fast to process.
Are there any wooden accessories?
For some people it might sound surprising, but there actually are lots of accessories made of wood. Let’s see the most popular ones.
Wooden watches
Watches are very popular accessories for both men and women. However, traditionally, they’re made from steel or leather, and while steel is sustainable (but much less than wood), leather is not ethical at all. That’s why we recommend wooden watches – there are just as many designs with them as with other watches, take a look:
Wooden sunglasses
Sunglasses are not only stylish but necessary accessories during active sunlight hours. You probably know that mostly sunglasses are made from plastic, so it would be really great to change the frame to a wooden one. Here are some beautiful examples:
As you can see, there are many examples of fashionable eco-friendly accessories made from wood. You can find more options on this page, including even wooden bowties and cufflinks. Don’t be afraid to experiment with new sustainable materials, after all, it’s all for a good cause. Plus, it brings diversity to your looks.
