Eco-friendly Finds Safari Style

Vintage German Zebra Brooch - Kinker Litzchen
I do love poking around vintage jewelry sites and searching for weird and wonderful treasures, especially when you find gilded animals such as this Zebra. It's adorable, hails from Germany and even has little Swarovski crystal eyes. You could possibly pin the brooch to your blazer's lapel or for a less eccentric touch, try securing it to a canvas bag or shopping tote as a way to declare your love for animals and the planet!
Etsy - $15.95

Vintage Safari Mini Dress - Pretty Raccoon
This Safari style shirt dress is a great blend of masculine and feminine styles. Wear with a brass or brown belt and sandals for summer and stockings, leggings or skinny organic jeans for autumn and spring.
Etsy - $49


Vintage 60s Belted Shift Dress - Love Miss Daisy
This dress has safari written all over it. The brown earth tones and black and white zebra / leaf pattern combined with the chic cut, make this dress look ultra sophisticated.

Love Miss Daisy - £45


Vintage Wood and Brass Bangle Bracelets - Hello My Friend
You definitely need a pair or set of chunky wooden bracelets to rock the safari look. I love the striking gold and black paired with the plain wooden one. It's all about an eclectic mix of bracelets you already own or may have picked up on your global travels.

Etsy - $13


Warm Burgundy Stripe Vegan Shoes - Charmone
made in italy / vegan

I know I've featured these shoes before but they are so fitting for today's safari / jungle, 'hello Africa' theme that I just had to include them! I love the earthy colour of the orange and burgundy stripes finished off with the pretty, shimmering ribbon detail at the top. They would look so sweet with dresses, skirts, shorts or some Stewart + Brown organic summer trousers.
Charmone - $99


Gigi Clutch, Zebra Print - Mad Imports
made in kenya + madagascar (fair trade) / raffia
A little Zebra clutch is a great way to incorporate the safari theme into your wardrobe without having to go OTT. You don't have to wear head to toe khaki and book a trip to South Africa to join the safari set, not when eco chic accessories such as this clutch are available.

Mad Imports - $79


Vintage Tan and Red Mini Dress - Santoki Vintage
This high waist khaki style dress looks fabulous with its bright splashes of red at the front and sides of the dress. The cute pockets and ties at each side make this a great little dress for summer.

Etsy - $85


New Look Brown & Gold Shorts - Oxfam
What's a safari without a pair of leg flaunting shorts? It's still a little tricky to track down organic shorts, so perhaps the next best option is Oxfam, especially their BNWT shorts (Brand New With Tag). This brown colour is perfect but beige, bottle green and even orange (if you're brave enough) would also capture the safari vibe well.

Oxfam £12.99


Wooden Animals in a Banana Fibre Box
- Jedando Handicrafts

made in kenya (fair trade)
banana fibre + muhugu wood

Kids will have great fun playing with these animals (set of seven) and adults will love the fact the animals are made from wood not plastic and have been ethically produced.

Scotia Fair Trade - £12


Plant-a-Tree in Africa Card
If you're all fashioned out then maybe you'd like this unique, meaningful gift idea. The World Wildlife Fund For Nature (WWF) will donate £2.50 from this card towards 'planting species including neem, mahogany and teak to help restore coastal forests and provide resources for local communities in Eastern Africa'. The pewter leaf trinket is lead free and made in the UK.

WWF £7.99
