But wait... we are not your typical online store that just sells a wide variety of products that suit a specific market. No, no... we are very particular (pedantic some might say), about the products we stock. Here is our differentiator;
- We create a platform for eco-friendly products that are manufactured in South Africa*, thereby supporting our own countries economy while creating awareness of the amazing designs and products that our fellow countrymen are coming up with.
- We test and use all our products before giving the go ahead for our stores to stock these products. This helps us to give you first hand feedback in terms of product quality, usage etc.
- We scrutinize ingredient lists to ensure that all products stocked by us are truely natural and / or organic. You can rest assured the you wont find any "green washed" products here
(A note needs to be made that sadly our disposable eco nappies are from Europe, and our Green Toys are from the US. As this is a problem for us in terms of carbon footprint, we challenge our creative south african entrepeneurs to come up with a local version.. please. In the interim, we are doing our best to offset our carbon footprint. Join us, and find out more! )
Have a squizz around. Let us know what you love, like and loathe - we look forward to hearing from you!
