At our sustainable fashion shop in The Old Bank, 2 Castleton Road (find us on Multimap), we have a wide range of eco clothing for men, women and children, from hats to socks, along with a range of bags, cards, organic bodycare and an exciting range of fair trade and recycled jewellery. Our green clothing is made from organic materials and natural fibres and production is sweatshop-free. Our eco friendly fashion provides customers with an ethical alternative that is kinder on the environment.
We think that we have the largest range of green fashion in the UK in our shop. Come along and take a look to see if you agree!
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-Sun, 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 shops are 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.
Both our Derbyshire eco shops were formerly banks. The home shop has 17th century fireplaces and beamed ceilings, whilst the organic clothing store has lots of original features too.
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...
