Splurge Gifts from Ethical Companies

Gift guides are my favorite kinds of blog posts. I don't know why. I guess it might be because "gift giving" is one of my love languages. I'm often embarrassed by this fact, even though the kinds of gifts I love aren't really even expensive. Love notes, little rocks from special places. These are my favorite "I thought of you" kinds of presents.

But, this is a splurgey kind of gift guide. This is the kind of gift idea to use for special occassions or with money you've saved up for a long time. These are all BEAUTIFUL and all created by companies whose missions I really respect or I've worked with personally. I've traveled internationally with one of the founders and gave another of the founders author advice. These companies are the real deal.

ROW 1: Everlane $48 // ABLE $138

This backpack goes everywhere with me. It fits my laptop perfectly and the color is AMAZING. It's perfect. And...this denim jacket is PERFECTION. It's super soft, just the right amount of distressed to make it not look like 2001. I wear ALL DAY at least twice a week.

ROW 2: Sseko $199 // Sseko $49

My friend Barb has this bag and I've been lusting after it. It seems to get better with age and holds more than it looks it would. And...the oyster bag luxuriously fits ALL my makeup and looks chic and put together doing so. It's the most beautiful small thing I own.

ROW 3: Amour Vert $298 // Everlane $155

I've been wanting a leather jacket forever. I finally bit the bullet on this one, and I wear it at least twice a week. It's made out of recycled leather and it's the perfect amount of edgy. And, under it I'm eyeing this waffle cashmere sweater from Everlane. Their cashmere is beyond soft.
