Are You Green With Envy? We Are!


World renowned supermodel Janice Dickinson hosted the first Green with Envy Fashion Experience featuring our designs plus many other eco-conscious brands. Celebrities and socialites enjoyed music, food and fashions at the swanky House of Petals in Los Angeles.

Various fashions from casual to formal were unveiled striking the crowd. We love to see designers and fashions moving towards eco-conscious design and manufacture. These articles were fashion forward: designed with the future, style and lifestyle in mind.

We are excited to be a part of this event and are looking to become more involved in these great shows. With our Green Goddess line coming out in the near future, you will see our designs more in the mainstream fashion world. We always want to hear what you want. So send us an email and tell us what you want out of a conscious line of fashion oriented accessories and bags!

3G iPhone Sleeve Development

For all you iPhone fanatics, we know you either have one or are waiting in anticipation for July 11th and the 3G iPhone. We are totally excited.


We are so psyched about this device that we decided to develop the coolest, recycled iPhone sleeve case ever. Not only will this protect your investment, but it will help reduce materials polluting landfills.


We want your input. What do you want from a iPhone sleeve? Would you like it to have colorful billboard on the outside, or sleek black PET (recycled water bottles)? Soft PET fleece, or recycled foam? This is your chance to tell us what you want. So send e-mails, write comments, let us know.


This is going to be a very limited product, so pay attention and we will inform you when we are going live with this great design.

Teva Mountain Games


Come visit the road crew this weekend for the Teva Mountain Games in Vail, CO. We have partnered with Teva to bring you some of the coolest bags that we have produced to date. Using the promotional banners, from last years event, we made a bunch of really cool and vibrant bags that we are really proud of, and they will be available for purchase at the Games.


No but honestly...these bags are SICK, but very limited, so come get your hands one before they are all gone.



We are also going to be saving hundreds of pounds of waste from land fills by resourcing all of this year's Teva event banners to make bags for corporate gifts and promotional items. Awesome! It takes cool partnerships with great companies like Teva to really "close the loop" and make a difference!


The Green Guru both will be part of the "Greenlight district" in "Gear Town" and the event will going on all weekend:

Friday, June 6th: 11am-5pm
Saturday, June 7th: 9am-5pm
Sunday, June 8th: 9am-4pm


Come watch world class climbers, bikers, runners and kayakers as they put it all on the line in name of a good time. A special thanks to Lara Bar, Outside Magazine, Climbing Magazine, Urban Climber, Pabst Blue Ribbon, SoBe, all of the other great sponsors and Vail Resorts for making it all happen. So if you want to come hang out, pick-up a bag, or just play in the sun a bit, we would love to see you there!

Larimer Square - La Piazza del'Arte

Arte, Arte, Arte! You like art? You like eco? You are like us.


Artists from all over the map will be gathering in Larimer Square this weekend (June 7th & 8th) to create beautiful works of art using sidewalk chalk. Kid stuff you say? Well, yes there is a kids corner too for the young aspiring chalk artist in your family. Come for the art and stay for a wine dinner at the Capital Grille Sunday, June 8th, 7:00 PM, $125.00 per person, inclusive.



Yet another great event sponsored by Green Guru! Along with food vendors and amazing scenery you can't beat an afternoon downtown. We made custom bags for the event out of the street banners from Larimer Square and we will be reclaiming and re-purposing all the banners from this years event as well. (More waste saved from clogging up land fills)


La Piazza dell'Arte is produced by the Larimer Arts Association, a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization committed to art education and awareness in downtown Denver. And they are working with Green Making taking the necessary steps to have a green event.
They will:



- Recycle all cardboard, plastic and glass used during the event
- Obtain and reuse "unusable" carpet samples and remnants for artist kneeling pads
- Require food vendors to use recycled flatware and paper products
- Minimize the power usage required of diesel-operated generators
- Reuse their street banners from previous years (Thanks to Green Guru)
- Involve eco-friendly sponsors (That's us!)


We think this is a really cool event and hope to see more communities gathering like this. So join us this weekend for a excellent event in historic downtown Denver! Oh and check out these bags we made for the event!
