1 Painted Wardrobe
A painted wardrobe can come in a range of different designs. Many people don’t actually realise the importance of choosing the right wardrobe until they go to buy one, and they certainly don't realise that they will most likely have the painted wardrobe in their home for the next decade or more. This essentially means they will see it most days and it may even be the first thing they see every morning when they wake up. For most people, but most especially morning grouches, this makes purchasing the perfect wardrobe a necessity.

One of the current in things in the world of wardrobes and most furniture as a matter of fact is the white, sanded look on wardrobes.

DRESSING IN HEAD TO GREEN
I still vividly remember the fashion furor that surrounded the “I’m Not a Plastic Bag” canvas tote about five years ago. People stood in line for hours, stampeded into designated retail stores and paid hundreds of dollars to own the season’s ‘it’ bag.
The bag was thus included in the goodie-bag given to the stars at the 2007 Vanity Fair Oscar night party, and was seen on the arms of stars including Keira Knightley and Jessica Biel. It was also reported that only 20, 000 that would go on sale and that quotas of 30 bags per branch and one bag per customer would be implemented. The end result was that “eco-friendly” was no longer a byword for “dull and self-important”. What’s more, the bag was among the products that spearheaded the worldwide movement of green, sustainable fashion.
In 2012, it’s still considered cool for people who care about the environment to (literally) wear their heart on their sleeve. The list below highlights accessories, clothing and cosmetics that help people dress in head-to-toe green.
Urban Renewal
Urban Renewal is a high quality clothing line that has replicated the idea of using second-hand garments in the manufacturing process from pioneers in the U.S. and Canada. The specialised product line renovates vintage clothing and materials into trendy new outfits with an alternative indie look. This concept first originated in Philadelphia and has proved to be successful throughout the rest of America and Europe.
The clothes created in the Urban Renewal product line are made from materials locally sourced, but also imported from numerous international Rag Houses in countries including France, Singapore and the United States. Rag houses are wholesale retailers of materials that receive their inventory from thrift stores, clothing donations and left over stock from clothing factories. The second-hand clothing industry is important as it claims the large amounts of materials that would have otherwise ended up in landfills throughout the world.
MADE
The accessories brand, MADE, not only uses sustainable materials and limited technology, but is also committed to supporting and promoting trade in Africa. It does so by honouring its “trade not aid” philosophy of producing all of its jewellery and leather goods in a workshop based in Nairobi, Kenya. Materials such as precious metals, semi-precious stones, recycled glass, wood and bits of bone are sourced locally, and men and women trying to make a better life form themselves are trained and produce the accessories.
The collection is sold in London’s Top Shop worn and by a string of fashionistas, including Kate Moss. The profits go directly to the producers, and a portion is also invested back into the community projects ad training.
The Body Shop
Founder of The Body Shop, the late Dame Anita Roddick, was respected for her creativity, integrity and position on social responsibility in the corporate world. The company’s mission statement outlines the following priorities: activate self-esteem, protect our planet, against animal testing, support community trade and defend human rights. Besides these creditable philosophies, The Body Shop is also loved for its high quality products—from skincare ranges for every skin type to indulgent body butters and fragrances.
In 2006, The Body Shop was bought by leading cosmetic company, L’Oreal, for $652 million, but is still well-known and loved for its natural ingredients and ethical standards.
