We don’t know about you all, but this Earth Day hit a little different. Not only are we reflecting on gratitude during these challenging times, but we realize even more not to take Mother Earth for granted. While the big brands are crushin’ initiatives centered around sustainability, it’s important to support and highlight local brands that are doing the same.

Through our community, we have come across some dope brands that know what it means to re-purpose the right way. Making products that put a focus on reducing that carbon footprint is always a plus. Quite honestly, the retail industry plays a major role in the environmental impact and sometimes doing our part can make a big difference. Check out a handful of brands we’re watching below. Sustainability…. but make it stylish.
