Recycle upcycle

Eco-consciousness is everywhere these days. But is it really? A lot of things are supposedly “green” but sadly end up being the same old same old. Only, with a fancier name and price tag to match.  On the other hand, there are some companies who do take the time and put forth the effort to make something truly eco-conscious. Unfortunately, some, when it comes to wearable items may compromise on comfort or style. Enter Linkskin.com
