shop sustainable, shop small 2024 holiday gift guide

100+ websites to shop small

Choosing ethical and sustainable practices is a huge investment for small shops, and it can be a real risk for those with already tight margins. Slow production also means sourcing materials and creating in lower quantities, which can increase costs as well. Keep in mind that no one has it all figured out.

Want to shop small but have your own budget to be mindful of (uh yes!)? Make sure to review each brand’s website for exclusives such as discounts when signing up for their newsletter!

If you have struggled in the past to know where to start when it comes to sustainable shopping, we hope this opens your eyes to just a small fraction of the businesses paving the way! We’re seriously in AWE of all the shops on this list! Hope you are too.

The post 24 Sustainable Gifts for Conscious Maximalists – Home Edition appeared first on Eco Club.

My initial idea was to throw the rug down here and then try it out in the other two spaces (I figured a round rug might be more fitting here?), but I fell in love with this look. As for the rug, it’s not only pretty but absolutely the softest rug my tootsies have ever walked across. Therefore it needed to be in this high-traffic area, from which I admittedly work more than eat. This Berber style pink and toffee dots rug is 100% cotton, chemical-free, and Goodweave accredited. It’s also machine washable (what?)! On their website, you can see it styled beautifully in a nursery/kids room. Which this colorway is perfect for (besides a pastel-lover’s dining nook, obviously). You can find this rug in other colors and styles too. This one is 4’11” X 6’11”, which is almost the exact size of my nook. Now that I had a rug to anchor the whole design, I got to styling my quiet little corner!

First, I decided on a simple table and two identical benches to give it the dining nook feel. I spent some time looking into custom benches and cushions, and tried to find sustainable sources, but as expected there wasn’t anything in my small budget. I looked on Craigslist, Marketplace etc but given the small size of the room didn’t score like I hoped. So, I just bought these not-so-eco furniture items new online. Thankfully they worked out well and I know I’ll get a lot of use out of them.

I brought these West Elm curtains and velvet pillow from the living room of our last place. I’ve had them for several years now. The like their new home!

The pillows are a mix of Zuahaza designs (read more about them here), with one super old Etsy purchase mixed in. The “throw” blanket on the right is actually a Zuahaza scarf, which is so cozy no matter how you use it. The pink woven throw blanket is one featured in our shop. It’s lightweight and super cozy.

You can find the blockprint napkins from the tabletop in the shop as well.

The centerpiece here are the very last flowers I bought before blooms officially went out of season here in Seattle. Sigh!

Lastly, the beautiful woven wall art you see above is by another member, Will + Atlas! I’ve had it for years now (and three apartments) and always find a special new space for it everywhere I go.

That’s about it for my new dining nook! Several months later, it’s still one of the few spaces that feels complete in this new place. Next up I’ll be working on an art wall for the living room, and I’m hoping to carve out a corner devoted to my morning routine of journaling, reading, and meditation.

After reviewing and loving the rug, Ohh Happy Home is now a member of our sustainable shop directory. If you are in the US and shop from them, you can use ECOCLUBFREE for free shipping!

Below, we highlight some of our sustainable directory members and their small business Saturday/holiday season promotions.

Clothing

Back Beat Co (pictured above) is offering 35% sitewide with code BFBONANZA

LA Relaxed is a slow fashion brand making women’s essentials all under one roof in Los Angeles. They’re offering 40% (even on sale items) with code FESTIVE. They sent me the Dream Fleece Hoodie a while back and I can confirm it’s as comfortable as it sounds. It’s perfect when you want a really light, relaxed layer.

Knickey, one of my favorite sustainable underwear brands, is offering 25% off sitewide from 11/24 to 11/28. If you’ve recently started transitioning your bras and undies to sustainable brands, both WAMA (also reviewed in that article) and Knickey are great places to start because they are on the more affordable end, and these sales can go a long way for your necessities!

WAMA makes undies for men and women, as well as bralettes, from hemp. (Fun fact, I’m wearing them right now…) They are offering 40% off sitewide all weekend!

New member Cea is offering up to 75% their line of slow fashion loungewear and basics including womens sweat sets and tees. Their pieces are all organic and naturally dyed.

Maika Goods is having their biggest sale of the year, with 20% off orders $50+ and 30% off orders of $100+. They offer sustainably made bags and have a great variety of sizes, styles, and prints.

Another new member, Isabella Eve Apparel, who specializes in made-to-order slow fashion in custom sizes, is offering 20% off sitewide now through Tuesday with code BLACKFRIDAY. Plus, a freebie will be included with all orders!

The Waight, who makes the most beautiful, cozy hand-dyed organic cotton loungewear, offers 20% your first order with code ORGANIC.

Home

Zuahaza is hosting their holiday sale all November long, with 15% off and free shipping with code Z15NOV. See our latest favorites from this artisan home decor brand here and here!

For our new member Nightshade, which is an amazing hybrid plant/tattoo shop in Seattle, you can snag 25% off everything in the plant shop using code CYBER2022 for one day only, beginning midnight on Monday the 28th.

TerraKlay‘s sale runs through 11/29 and includes 20% off of everything on their site! You might remember them from our DIY Furoshiki gift wrap or holiday tablescape last year when we shared their shibori dyed napkins and table runner.

New member ichcha (pictured above), who specializes in hand block-printed textiles, as well as clothing and accessories, is offering 30% off with GRATEFUL30 and free US shipping on orders over $75

Made Trade‘s Black Friday and weekend sale is 15% off sitewide with code GREENHOLIDAY. They’re also offering up to 60% off select sale items. This is definitely a one-stop shop for ethical gifts!

Last but not least, we recommend our own shop that Jenn and I launched a couple months ago! Enjoy 20% off of gifts, decor, artwork and more on wallflower. Learn more about us here!

Check out our sustainable directory and be sure to click on each thumbnail for more promotions (and just to discover amazing ethical brands and small businesses in general)–this list is far from exhaustive and we’ve only highlighted a few above before running out of time to post!

A final note… Even when it comes to Small Business Saturday and other more intentional movements, my idea of shopping consciously still applies. This means I don’t just buy something just because it’s on sale, and I take a bit of time to get to know the brand and learn whether I’d actually recommend them to a friend.

The post Where to Shop on Small Business Saturday appeared first on Eco Club.

Molly M Framed Wall Art | Pineapple Wall Basket | Sage Block Print Pillow | Terracotta Pillow | Ruffle Pillow | Sunrise Stripe Towel | Wicker Bench | Yellow Glazed Pot | Round Rattan Mirror (no longer available, similar here) | Gabo Basket Tray | Peach Terracotta Rug | Knot Cushion in Blossom | Jute Doormat (no longer available) | Small Woven Planter | Frida Kahlo, Her Photos

Like much of the internet, I’ve become obsessed with the pairing of lush, sagey greens and oranges, corals, and pinks. It’s a bit deeper than I usually go in my own decorating, but I find myself gravitating to it more and more, so I think it’s beyond a trend for me at this point!

My primary muse for this collection is that WIP (Work in Progress) LA Rug and how it marries warm color with green and blush. The rug is made in Bhadohi, India using mid-weight, flat-weave cotton. It also comes in a runner style which I’ve been dreaming about for my tiny kitchen!

We take Jenn’s collection of Estelle Colored Glass wine glasses pretty much every where we go. They make not only the prettiest props, but also feel really special to sip from after a long day! Here the glassware is sitting on Zuahaza’s woven placemat/charger. It’s a super sturdy surface made from natural fique, and worked nicely as a sort of serving board.

I also brought along a pillow from their previous collection, Tyba, the one snuggled in the back here.

We have these sweet ceramic tumbler cups coming to the shop soon. They’re perfect for a morning latte!

Many of you know that I don’t go anywhere without flowers. Yes, even to Airbnb cabins. I grabbed a bunch of different stems at the market and simply trimmed them each to varying heights. I didn’t do much else for this arrangement, and I’m pretty pleased with the wild fall look of it all!

The Sumaz Large Throw in Cream is one of the most beautiful blankets I’ve ever curled up in! The woven details are just stunning. It’s 100% organic cotton, undyed, and a women artisan cooperative in the town of Charalá, Colombia. Honestly, I thought I might regret not having a pop of color with the blanket, but it’s such a lovely complement to the rest of our decor, from the pillow covers to the flowers and glassware, and I loved how the creamy neutrals cozied everything right up.

A preview of a couple more products we’re offering over at wallflower!

This pillow stack also features the the Paramo Pillow Covers and Cocuy Pillow Covers which come in 5 colors. I can’t decide if I like them more here on the sofa or up in the cabin’s loft on the bed… BTW, they are SO soft.

I love the rustic cabin decor of the PNW, but sometimes I crave more playful color. Zuahaza’s textiles were just the accent we needed!

Thanks to eco club member Zuahaza for gifting us these products to photograph so that you could get a better sense of the superior beauty and quality of sustainable, handmade goods produced ethically.

The post Eco Friendly Cabin Decor for Fall with Zuahaza appeared first on Eco Club.

Cartagena is a Caribbean city along the northern coast of Colombia known for its preservation of cultural heritage. A place where people enjoy walking the colorful streets, drinking juices made from fresh fruits, and dancing to the cumbia rhythms of this Afro-Colombian gem.

This collection was inspired by and is dedicated to Cartagena’s culture and people. To the Afro-Colombians who are authors of Cartagena’s contagious rhythms and flavors. To the ancestors and descendents of the land who to this day tend to its natural beauty. To the modern citizen who values Colombian history, handmade craft, and heirlooms.

With each collection, Zuahaza highlights a different part of Colombian culture. This time, they’ve introduced a crocodile green to their palette, and a beautiful navy blue as a nod to the Port of Cartagena and the Caribbean Coast of Colombia.

Zero waste has been a major priority for Zuahaza, and they’ve developed their pillow sizes according to which would create the least waste on their looms. This time extra “scraps” were used to create their smallest sized lumbar pillow!

Cartagena has a population of nearly a million people. It’s a city known for its color, history, colonial architecture, flora, and markets.

Where to shop, eat, stay, and explore in Caragena, Colombia

Shops

1. Centro Comercial La Serrezuela Not just any mall! This mall has so many more Colombian shops than regular malls in Colombia. They have a lovely food court showcasing local chefs and typical Caribbean food and the vibe is great.
2. St Dom. Higher end store with incredible Colombian designers. Clothes, accessories and some home goods.
3. Bahué A concept store with Colombian designer products.

Restaurants

1. Cafe San Antonio at Casa Jaguar (also has an incredible small cafe offering great breakfast and lunch) Here is where we took our lifestyle photos!
2. Restaurante Gobernador at Bastion Hotel. Great all you can eat breakfast buffet
3. Carmen. Elevated seafood

Hotels

1. Bantú
2. Casa Jaguar
3. Bastion Hotel (incredible rooftop pool!)

Neighborhoods & Locations

Cartagena’s old city is a charm. In this neighborhood you can find different streets, plazas and parks and they all have their own vibe.

1. Santo Domingo Square There is always music and something happening here.
2. Plaza de los Coches Super cute plaza with colorful houses.
3. Monumento Torre del Reloj. One of my favorite spots for pics. There are always fruit carts parked around here too if people want to drink coconut water or mango biche.
4. La Muralla (literally the fortress wall) The historic city is surrounded by an old rock wall fortress from the colonial times. There is a walkway on top and you can see some of the most beautiful views!
5. Calle Don Sancho Love this street to take photos of some of the most lovely houses and flowers.
6. Las Bóvedas Here there is a craft and market with fruits and veggies.

The post A Tour of Colorful Cartagena, Colombia with Zuahaza appeared first on Eco Club.

I loved that they always told the stories of not only their makers, but the towns they lived in and the vibrant communities they connected with. Soon we collaborated on photo shoots, like this summer picnic + bedroom decor guide. We even hooked up for an IG live featuring a naturally dyed cotton and silk tutorial, which totally sparked my love of natural dyeing.

Both of our teams finally caught up the other week, just as we were launching wallflower shop and they were gearing up for their latest collection to go live! It’s called the Cartagena collection and it’s named after a beautiful travel destination on Colombia’s Caribbean coast. Cartagena was founded back in the 16th century, and their original architecture and streets full of color inspired the blankets, pillows, and decor you see here!

Cumbia Large Throw

One of their goals with the new collection was to showcase the naturally gorgeous fibers like organic cotton and fique, while adding a pop of color as a nod to the colorful streets of Cartagena.

Magdalena Pillow Cover

Baru Small Throw

La Popa Oversized Throw Pillow

My idea of the perfect neutral bedroom definitely has subtle colorful accents like the throws here. Don’t get me wrong, I love a bright bedroom, but I naturally lean toward dusty pinks and greens, and pastel colors in my own life, so seeing them against creamy organic cotton offered such an elevated look to me!

Morenas Storage Baskets

The Cartagena collection is officially live on zuahaza.com, and you should pre-order before October 15th to be given priority for shipping in time for the holidays. Since each of these incredible pieces are made to order, you’ll want yours in quickly to offer time to spin, dye, and weave the yarns!

I’m excited to share that we’ll be collaborating with Zuahaza again on some original fall content for you all, which we’re shooting next week. Until then, we’ll be back with a little Cartagena travel guide tomorrow!

Palm pillowcases by CloselyKnitCo on Etsy

Etsy

Etsy is my go-to for home decor (and has been since I first discovered them in 2008!) because you can find both handmade and vintage on the platform, offering different ways to shop sustainably. Plus, while it’s always less taxing on the environment to shop locally than ship items from around the world, Etsy does offset its carbon emissions. If you love hunting for higher end vintage pieces, you can also try Chairish.

A few more of my favorite Etsy shops for handmade maximalist decor are Mrs Fishkin, MoiMili, SoLinen (which I mean, is perfect for minimalists too!), and Poppy & Honesty. For vintage, I love to check in on AnnabelMayVintage, SimplyChi, and LittleDogVintage for new-old finds.

Trouva

Have you shopped indie makers on Trouva before? It’s a discovery site and marketplace featuring goodies from boutiques in the UK and EU and globally. They offer carbon neutral worldwide shipping and even complimentary gift wrap, so they really make it easy to choose thoughtful gifts and decor. You can always search Google for your favorite vendors discovered on the platform, and see if any US based retailers offer them, if you are looking for something more local.

A few Trouva vendors that have caught my eye are Projektityyny, Casa Cubista, and Society of Wanderers. If you’re looking for a US based platform that works in a similar way, you might try Garmentory.

Pillows by Archive New York

Wall baskets by Kazi as seen in @emmyraver‘s home in @archdigest

Made Trade

If you’re a die-hard maximalist that is obsessed with all things bold, it’s easy to discount Made Trade. They are an ethical marketplace featuring tons of my favorite sustainable brands, but I have to admit that as a brand they lean toward the more common minimalist angle when it comes to conscious consumerism. That said, they offer some amazing maximalist vendors like Zuahaza, Kazi, and Archive New York. Like Etsy and Trouva, it takes some digging, but you can certainly find the pops of color and pattern you’re looking for, sustainably!

St Frank textiles and decor

st frank

On the higher end of this roundup, maximalist design site St Frank is such a beautiful destination for artisan-made home goods with a sustainable focus. They have an extensive collection of ethically-sourced goods for every one of your home and lifestyle needs–from wallpaper to textiles to housewares and artwork. It’s truly a one-stop shop and the bold prints and patterns they feature are ripe for layering and adding texture to your home.

Another shot by our member and home decor shop we’ve featured, Archive New York.

our blog

We first started obsessing over conscious maximalism in this trend report. From there, we posted a few shopping roundups that are perfect for helping you curate a maximalist home with intention. Our favorites:

• How to decorate like a conscious maximalist
• Ethical and sustainable alternatives for Anthropologie
• 15 ethical home decor shops you should know about

We also share them in our directory and in our boutique.

If you’re looking to refresh your home this year, and I wouldn’t blame you with all of the time spent inside at the moment, a new rug is the perfect place to start. It can anchor your whole design and make a room look brand new. Below, find my current favorites–mostly colorful and intricate, and all produced ethically.

Morrow rugs are subtle yet stunning, like this Amari Mini in an almost neutral, dusty pink. And if you’re looking for a runner, I’m currently obsessing over this creamy beauty. Find more neutral home goods here!

Archive New York’s Zapotec checkered rug is perfectly on trend with its check pattern and pop of pink.

Love me a lush rug in a color scheme I’d never have thought of on my own, like in Sister Golden’s vintage Moroccan rug collection.

MINNA’s Dream Rug Bright, made in Guatemala, makes a pretty wall hanging if you’re like me with no more floor space to spare!

The Rug Company is a leader in providing fair trade rugs in bespoke colors, sizes, and designs. Their online selection is pretty overwhelming, so I like to peruse their Insta for inspiration.

Eco club member Will & Atlas offers 100% jute rugs in beautiful organic designs. Jute is one of the world’s most sustainable fibers, and works indoors and out!

Lovers of pinks, pastels, and all things bright will fall in love with the selection of authentic Moroccan rugs at Baba Souk out of Canada.

Another favorite from Archive is the Teo Zapotec Rug (available at Made Trade), which comes in a runner too. Can’t you see it adorning the floors of a dreamy Airbnb in Joshua Tree?

Colombia based Zuahaza, maker of throws, pillows, and other home goods, also offers ethically made rugs woven with sustainable natural fibers like fique. We snapped the first photo during a content shoot last year.

One of my favorite shops for rugs, Loom & Field, sells colorful shag rugs in patterns you don’t see anywhere else. They offer both vintage and contemporary handmade by their artisan partners.

Okay, I know I’ve posted about Here & There Collective before, but they have such fun colorful patterns and yin-yang designs on cozy made-to-order rugs. You won’t welcome a single guest into your home that has one like it, I’m sure!

Loomy (who offers free US shopping) has this colorful Off Balance rug among their choices of consciously crafted rugs. Each of the listings on their site will tell you about its sustainability features, such as origin and recycled materials. When I shop Loomy, I head straight to their multi colored rug collection!

Soukie Modern offers custom handcrafted Moroccan rugs, like this Beni M’rirt Rug to your specifications. They also have incredible wedding blankets, home decor, and more!

Loloi is known for partnering with incredible designers like Rifle Paper Co and Justina Blakeney on their handmade rugs. The pink wave design is so dang good (sadly since discontinued). I regret not investing in this one!

St Frank is on the higher end, but oh my goodness they curate the most beautiful rug and textile collections! I especially love their cactus silk rugs. I mean how could one even choose?

Inspired by travel and nature, the Far From Home Rug by Mini Knots at Goodee is handcrafted in Turkey on traditional looms.

You know how much I love Etsy for vintage and custom rugs. You always want to read a shop’s bio and policies, and ask the seller any questions you have in order to ensure it is produced fairly and sustainably, and going to meet your needs. Etsy is also powered by 100% renewable energy and offsets carbon emissions, which is good to know if you’re considering an international purchase. These striped Beni Ourain runners can be made in just about any color… I repeat, any color!
