By Store Adore

Sick of eco-shopping sites, especially when they employ loaded phrases like “natural” (that oatmeal shade couldn’t be all that organic cotton has to offer) or “recycled cashmere” (never quite as quite the second time around)? We’ve sorted through heaps of hemp and turned up retail gems that offer strikingly stylish products that also happen to be good for Mother Earth. Presenting Store Adore’s favorite online sources for all things eco…After all isn’t green the new black?

Elsewares (Get 20% off!)

A passionate commintment to magnificent designs and the artists behind them means that you’ll not only score super-cool stuff on Elsewares, but you’ll also support companies with a conscience in the process. This shopping treasure trove is diverse, affordable and 100 percent guilt-free.

Greenloop has one goal: to dress you head-to-toe in stylish goods made by conscientious companies. Organic, sustainable and recycled fashions are the site’s mainstays, with everything from chic handbags to jeans to shoes to sleek wristwatches making it a one-stop shop for guilt-free dressing.

Beautorium (Get 20% off!)

Reminding us that most of what we put on our skin is absorbed directly into our bodies, newly launched Beautorium boasts top-of-the-line brands that are at once luxurious, effective and free from the types of chemicals we’d prefer not to think about. For the green goddess in you, here’s to turning bath time into a spa experience.

With its ever-evolving selection of eco-friendly clothing, plus charming gifts and vintage accessories, this East Village, Manhattan-based boutique is painting the town green.

BTC Elements

Uniting style with earth preservation, BTC Elements offers a selection of of-the-moment apparel and gifts. Sexy bamboo denim, recycled sterling silver earlings and organic soy jersey shifts are serious head-turners. The fact that they’re made with a social conscience is the icing on the (organic) cake.

Hoopla Traders (Get 20% off!)

Promising that on its side of this street, the goods are always greener, this Washington DC-based store and site is stocked with unique eco-treasures. Hoopla doesn’t sacrifice one bit of cool while supporting sustainability and fair trade-so that’s what all the Hoopla’s about!

This site’s name is no oxymoron. For living, it offers high-design pieces with a whimsical modern twist; for wearing, silhouettes follow current trends, and for giving, the pieces are so covetable that you can give with mindfulness without imposing on your less socially consious friends.

Modify (Get 15% off!)

With tons of eco-conscious clothing, accessories, beauty products and home decor, all Modify would need to add is organic veggies and a Prius and we’d be set. The goods here run from gamut from new to vintage- fashion’s original take on reduce, reuse, and recycle.
