I've always had a thing for butterflies. If I can find jewellery, cute tees or any fashion with a stylish butterfly design, I'll probably be all over that! I'm not sure if there is a 'deeper' reason for loving butterflies (such as their ability to transform themselves and fly away) or maybe it's just a matter of falling for something pretty! Who knows? I certainly could have kept going all day uncovering butterfly finds but I've restrained myself and kept the following eco friendly products to just 9!
Butterflies & Blue Aurora Borealis Jeweled Cuff Bracelet - Coppertina
This clusturous wonder looks as if a hand has been dipped into a treasure chest and come out dripping in brass butterflies, silver leaves and blue aurora borealis gems. Aside from being vintage, another eco credential this cuff has, is the fact the items have been welded on and not glued with toxic stickiness. Ideal for those of a medium to large wrist size.
Purchase online at Etsy (Coppertina) for $42
Butterfly in Wonderland Tee - Look for Fiddleheads
Handmade in Chicago
Organic Cotton
We all need a great graphic tee in a pretty shade but some can be so crass and cringe worthy that is hard to find the perfect tee when you are a conscientious girl! Thankfully, Look for Fiddleheads have created an amazing organic tee with beautiful imagery. The designer, Lee is inspired by 'art and writings found in very old books' and this specific tee has some Alice in Wonderland connotations. Lee writes that the 'character on this tee shirt never spoke, he was too busy befriending a butterfly'. Love it! Even the clothing label is made from up-cycled fabric like swatches and the remaining offcuts from the tee are used to make pillows as Lee is making an 'effort to produce zero waste' in her studio!
Available in cranberry (pictured), natural, ocean, olive, pumpkin or plum.
Purchase online at Etsy (Look for Fiddleheads) for $26

Butterfly Top - Kuyichi
Made Fair Trade

A gorgeous grey scoop neck organic cotton top with cool sleeves. Perfect for pairing with some Kuyichi jeans. Every green girl needs a bit of Kuyichi, not only for their fashionable designs but also because they are a pioneering fair trade brand and work hard to ensure workers are treated well by collaborating with Made-by and also certifying organisations, SA8000 and WRAP.

Wool Felt Belle Lampshade
Handmade in UK
100% wool felt
Who would have thought a wool felt lampshade was possible and with cute butterflies too? This particular lamp shade is available in butter (pictured) or mandarin and is designed to be used with an energy-saving light bulb as a normal light bulb may hurt the felt butterflies (i.e burn the felt). Other butterfly lampshade designs include one with a rabble of butterflies in pink or blue or another design with a butterfly shaped rim.
