eco-friendly floralsNamastegreen linesMore and more people are looking for productsthat are not only desirable but also kind to theplanet, to themselves and others. We take a look atsome of the latest green lines with eco-credentialsThe age of conspicuous consumption isincreasingly frowned upon since the birth of anew breed of consumer with a growing socialand environmental conscience.Even the recession has failed to dent manypeople’s commitment to a more eco-friendlylife style. Although design and price remainkey, as the purse strings have tightened manyshoppers have been making more consideredbuying decisions. Quality, provenance, where,how and from what products are made, arefactors with increasing relevance.Namaste has always looked for products thatare kind to the environment and the policy haspaid off with recycled products now making upa large proportion of sales.Says the company: “Demand for eco friendlyand recycled products is definitely on the up.What is vital however is for the products tobe desirable in their own right and strongdesign together with realistic pricing are stillparamount. Customers pick goods up that theylike and if they then find out the goods are fairtrade, recycled or eco friendly, that may wellhelp to clinch the sale but design and pricemust be right.”Walking stick specialists Classic Canesreport increasing interest in their home grownsticks. Managing partner, Charlotte Gillan,Classic Canesexplains: “We grow and manufacture many ofour ash, hazel and blackthorn walking stickshere in the Somerset woodlands that surroundour offices and storerooms. They are producedin a very traditional way, by coppicing thesmaller trees beneath our crop of timber trees.The resultant shoots form an ever-renewingsource of walking sticks, and the coppice itselfis a wonderful habitat for native woodlandflora and fauna. The first ‘product miles’these sticks accumulate are when the carriercollects them for delivery to the retailer. Wehave a lot of stockists who prize these Englishmadeproducts and relish having unusual,characterful products with an interesting storyfor their shops.”Call +44 (0)1460 75686 or visit the websitewww.classiccanes.co.uk to find out more. ggiftfocus 53
