Lauren Embree Vintage Filigree Bead 12K Gold Wrapped Ring $44
Lauren Embree takes her upcycled jewelry making so seriously, she’s even resorted to dumpster-diving in pursuit of an eye-catching bauble. Not that anything in her line looks like trash: Each and every piece is beautifully re-crafted, incorporating vintage elements into distinctively modern designs. Best of all, the line is totally affordable, with rings typically ringing up at well under $50.

Classic hoops go urbanorganic in an oversized rectangular shape from Tumbleweed Bead Company, which makes all of their well-priced jewelry from recycled metals and sustainably sourced stones.
Eco-Artware Shimmery Beaded Bangle $15
These bangles are just the kind of swingy little number to make your LBD pop, but keep in mind that they’re made by an Indian women’s collective from sustainable glass beads strung on recycled wire. Head-turners, indeed.
Poketo Upcycled Bubble Bag $28
Designed by a Korean environmental non-profit that upcycles street signs and banners in Seoul, Poketo Bubble Bags are one-of-a-kind and ridiculously cute. Plus, all profits go towards reducing Korea’s environmental impact. Bonus!
Naturally Knotty Bamboo Wraps $39.99
Crafted from factory overstock and/or scrap fabrics, Naturally Knotty wraps are sustainable and sweatshop free. We love their feather-light and super-soft bamboo scarves, cleverly packaged in a reusable bamboo tube, to keep off the chill.
Dirty Dolls Lingerie Cha Cha Cheeky Short $28
Finally, sometimes it’s what’s underneath that truly makes the outfit. This aptly named manufacturer of burlesque-inspired underpinnings caters to women with hard-to-find sizes like 30C or 44DD. A favorite of California girl Katy Perry, Dirty Dolls’ organic cotton Cha Cha Cheeky Short is just perfect.
Evoke Intimates Romance Bamboo Panty Trio $38
Finally, if you want to get literal about what going out is all about, look no further than the Romance trio from Evoke Intimates, which present Love, Passion and Sexy in cute little hipster panties, crafted from bamboo.
