At our green home shop in Market Place, Hope, (find us on Multimap), we sell beautiful things for your house and garden, from eco friendly cleaning products and non toxic paints to ceramic bird feeders and paper pot kits, as well as organic cosmetics and body care. For the children, we have safe, non-toxic bodycare, a range of organic soft toys and sustainable craft kits.
Our range of FSC/recycled cards and gift-wrap are local best sellers. The wide range of ethical and environmentally friendly home accessories includes organic, handwoven, fairtrade and natural dyed fabrics available by the metre. We stock soft organic cotton bedlinen, eco gifts for the kitchen and bathroom, organic cotton bathrobes and towels, charming accessories made from recycled glass, sustainable and recycled wood, natural materials and delightful local wool yarn and products that carry the Peak District Environmental Quality Mark (EQM).
We are stockists of Earthborn and Auro eco-friendly paints for eco interiors; Lavera, Weleda, and Akamuti natural non-toxic bodycare, Lavera and Lily Lolo cosmetics and Alma Win green cleaning products. Our two rooms contain a wide choice of organic, fair trade, recycled and sustainable gifts and home accessories.
Although the eco-friendly paints are not yet available in our online store we are happy to take orders over the phone for delivery to your address - please call to enquire (01433 621280) during shop hours (Tue-Sat, 10.00-4.30).
We try to make it as easy as possible to green your home by providing an extensive range of healthy products for the environmental house and garden. All our items are chosen carefully, aiming to combine beautiful eco design with ethical trade and sustainable production.
Our shop is decorated using environmentally friendly paint, natural seagrass matting with recycled rubber underlay and organic textiles, many of our shop fittings are either 'pre-loved' or made using recycled wood, and our 100% sustainable renewable energy comes from Good Energy. We recycle everything we can and aim to minimise our energy usage as much as possible in line with our Peak District EQM membership which has strict guidelines on waste and resources.
Our Derbyshire eco shop was formerly a bank and has 17th century fireplaces and beamed ceilings.
Here at Eco Eco, we are not paragons of virtue, but we're working on it. Our aim is to offer you the finest products, fairly traded and produced locally within strict environmental guidelines. We are getting as close as we can to this goal, but we are not quite there, yet. Before you click away in disgust, let us assure you it’s not through lack of trying. Here’s why… We try to ensure that as much of our clothing as possible is organic. With some fibres, such as cotton and hemp, that is fairly straightforward, but organic wool is particularly difficult to source (although it's getting easier year on year). Some of our suppliers of organic clothing may also produce non-organic clothing, because it is difficult for them to source sufficient organic textiles and convert production to reach recognised industry standards. By purchasing non-organic items from these companies you are helping to provide them with funds to bring about the changes that we all want. All of our cotton baby clothes are...
Eco Eco Ltd. was formed in 2005 by Alison Jackson-Bass to take eco fashion to venues around the UK where customers could try on the clothes rather than having to purchase all their ethically and environmentally produced organic clothing by mail order. However, we soon realised we needed a permanent base, as well as an online home. The first shop opened at The Courtyard in Hope in August 2006, and moved to even nicer premises in early 2009. It stocks clothes for men, women and children in organic fibres wherever possible alongside fairtrade accessories and jewellery. The second shop opened in August 2008, has a range of products for the house and garden, including natural paints, organic cosmetics and body care, fairtrade gifts, toys and craft kits. The online orders are despatched direct from Hope. We now employ four local people and are hoping to start producing our own clothing range, in a small way initially, that will be made in the UK. We are hoping that we will be able to produce...
