Going Green

Green living is a lifestyle choice. It is the positive impact that an action or activity has on the environment, regardless of its extent, in order to preserve the health of our earth for future generations. (ref. 1)

At Simple Style, we strive to bring you eco-friendly products for living and giving. We partner with suppliers who practice green principles in their growing and manufacturing of organic cotton apparel. Artisans from around the globe create handbags, jewelry and home accessories from materials such as rubber inner tubes from discarded tires and recycled magazines/glass. Our 100% tree-free journals are made from recycled scraps of waste textile. Cutting and cheese boards are crafted using reclaimed wood from plantation thinnings and naturally fallen trees. Our re-usable tote bags from ChicoBags™ are made from recycled plastic bottles (PET).
