Greencessorize Your Life - Vol. 1
Saturday, April 25th, 2009This is a first in a series of many Greencessories posts that will bring to light alot of very cool accessories available to consumers that are made from reused material, and are just plain earth-friendly. By the way, as of this post, if one was to do a Google search for “Greencessorize” or “Greencessories“, nothing would come up. Let’s see how long it will take for it to post in the rankings. We’ll revisit that later.
The world is awesome, and we’re a group of progressive, upstart designers and do gooders out to make sure the world stays awesome. As designers, we appreciate good ideas that look good. As Simply Green Solutions, if its good for the world - ’nuff said.
Our first venture into Greencessorizing your life takes us to Secco. Started as a small business (and environmental movement) in Helsinki, Finland, and with a new location in Japan, the Secco network of designers and distributors reworks post-consumer industrial waste into repurposed goods for home and humans alike.
They’ve got belts, purses and handbags plus necklaces and pins made from used tire-rubber. Keyrings, notebooks, hairbands and magnets made from old computer keyboards and circuit boards. Clocks, bracelets, and rings made from old records. And even earrings made of old mobile phone parts and serving dishes from old washing machine drums.
Secco tells a whimsical tale of its surroundings in the Wasteland where atop mountains of computer waste you can view the far hills of rubber and the qwerty river of keyboard keys flowing through arches in the towers of old records. They even hold workshops where you too can learn how to repurpose goods to turn them into greencessories.
Spread the good green energy to friends and family as gifts and order online, or if you happen to be in Helsinki, tell them we said “Haloo”.
