Kelly's Klicks: Design for a Cause Q. I love to shop, but sometimes I'd like to do so for a good reason. Are there any websites out there who are socially conscious or have a reason behind their being? A. I can think of nothing more applaudable than a fashionista with a heart (and a brain)! Lately, there seems to be a rise in these sites, or my discovery of them, so I'm glad you asked. First stop on the journey to shopping enlightenment is madimports.org. A socially responsible company that sells handmade art and fab accessories from Madagascar and Kenya, their eclectic mix of goodies by international artists utilizes renewable raw materials and enables families to gain economic independence. Check out the gorgeous raffia clutches embellished with carved wooden butterflies and buttons ($45-$98).
Next, cruise on by alternativeoutfitters.com for a stylish and on-trend assortment of fashionable leather alternatives and cruelty-free products, including non-leather shoes, handbags and accessories, as well as cruelty-free cosmetics and personal care items. The Chinese Laundry bags are as stylish as they come and the latest spring bags and wedges are too cool for skool. The selection of hip and cute totes and scrumptious foot candy, including wedges, strappy heels, boots and everything in between, is reason enough to keep checking back in.
If you're in the market for global goods, head to novica.com, a site that features work by more than 2,000 artists around the world. In association with National Geographic, you can read about the artists’ lives and explore their cultures while browsing more than 17,000 handcrafted works. The garnet and citrine Floral Halo earrings by Brazilian artists are gorgeous ($34) and the soda pop-top belt that looks like chain mail is beyond awesome ($52). You'll also find art, furniture, rugs, handbags, toys and loads more.
But style isn't just about adorning the body, so head on over to vivaterra.com for ecologically sound home products. VivaTerra, meaning “living earth,” is all about using the purest sustainable resources to create goods that fuse quality with eco sensitivities. The Root of the Earth Bowl, which resembles a tree trunk, does just that with unique style and grace ($49-$95).
