Who: Timberland – Stratham, NH

What: Earthkeepers Kennebunk Thong

Where: Amazon – $67.90

Why We Love It: This laid back thong takes us back to those magical days of summer spent on the coast of Vactionland (just south of Kennebunk). The thong is east coast staple that never goes out of style – like the pair mom used to have that we coveted, constantly slipping our sandy toes into them, willing them to fit to no avail. But now this timeless summer classic fits just right and it got a whole lot greener.

As with all Timberland shoes, these sandals are built to last, but as a member of Timberland’s Earthkeepers Collection, they are built with the earth in mind. Using more eco-friendly materials like recycled tires and organic cotton and considering the entire lifecycle of a product Timberland strives to create a more earth conscious shoe.  The latest in the Earthkeepers achievements is Earthkeepers 2.0 – shoes that are designed to be taken apart when you’re done with them so their parts can be recycled to make new footwear.

The leather for the Kennebunk Thong is sourced from a Leather Working Group (LWG) Silver-rated tannery awarded for its reduced energy use, reduced waste and quality water treatment. The ring is made of organic raffia and the outsole contains 42% recycled rubber from scrap tires.

Available in Dark Brown, Black or Tan.

I was excited when I first learned that Stella McCartney and Gap were teaming up for a GapKids collection, especially when I caught wind that several of the pieces would be made of organic cotton. Although, sadly, that does not appear to be the case… The collection has some edgy pieces like the tapered pleated pants, bloomer shorts (super cute!) and skinny jeans mixed with muted basics. The Band Jacket (top left pic) clearly inspired by her friend Chris Martin’s Coldplay Viva la Vida tour has, not surprisingly, already sold out. I mean, the collection did go on sale on the 30th… Click to continue »

Very excited about this news from WWD — Stewart + Brown will be adding denim to their collection of eco-friendly tops, sweaters, skirts, dresses and jackets. So we can look forward to well tailored and refined eco-conscious jeans made of 100 percent organic cotton.

In describing the new line, designer Karen Stewart said that “we took styling cues from [traditional] denim, but it has a more refined and sophisticated appearance. We wanted to take it a little more dressed up rather than the casual perspective on denim.”
