I used to have a hard time finding cute, eco-friendly holiday gifts for my green friends, but not anymore. This year, the stylin' eco babe will receive a wave of slick and sustainable gifts via bamboo scarves, recycled leather skirts, funky organic frocks, and conflict-free jewels. My planet-friendly BFF would love this Dianne Annelli Butterfly Organic Canvas Tote ($20). But wait, there's more . . .

As of late, I've taken a strong liking to the combination of leather and wool, or leather and knit. I think Molly Sims's Elizabeth and James skirt sparked it. Leather on its own can be intense, but the addition of another fabric softens it up. If I could, I'd get this Helmut Lang Leather and Wool Dress ($875). It's modern and futuristic at the same time, but it's way too pricey for me.
I first caught sight of Urban Outfitter's Urban Renewal line a year or so ago here in San Francisco, and loved it right away!
The collection is made up of totally one-of-a-kind pieces - each are handcrafted in Philadelphia from vintage, deadstock, and surplus materials sourced from rag mills around the world. While each piece is unlike any other piece, it will be part of a limited edition - which means it has the same silhouette as a bunch of other pieces, but none are made out of the same material. Cool huh?
