Sustainability - did you know?
GREEN ROSES ECHO finally emerged - a sustainability call waiting to happen. Studies in Fashion; Circular Economy; endless reading eg. zero waste, plastic free etc and a lifelong love of our Oceans, has finally merged two sidelines - O9 - Organ.IX (blog); and Green Roses (various fashion webs) into a fashionable edit of clothes, accessories and homewares - where earth creates the fashion.
Providing a pleasant shopping and browsing experience for you to enjoy the efforts of many accomplished and dedicated suppliers, all on sustainability journeys of their own - Bringing you garments, articles and goods from NZ, Australia and our beautiful Pacific.
Most of them don't stop there, juggling families, they also seek renewable resources from which to create their own product, while also giving time and resources toward causes close to their hearts, and from which their businesses bear goods. In searching out their raw materials etc, they are often creating or joining Communities (both NZ and offshore) in the process. True lifecycle of loving our earth.
Green Roses Echo - O9 Organ.IX donates to WWF NZ (Oceans); Green Roses is in the process of creating a charitable entity launching late next year. The owner has volunteered plenty of hours to NZ Red Cross recycled clothing outlets, and belongs to SBN NZ (Sustainable Business Network).
Your feedback is Welcome. We endeavour to grow at a timely pace - look forward to enjoying more along the way, as we grow theories into practice at a pace we hope the earth will thank us for.
Rose, Manager
Green Roses Echo.
