The Greenloop Story

Greenloop began in 2004 as one woman's endeavor in market based environmental activism, with the dual goals of using fashion as a vehicle for environmental change and providing a comprehensive shopping resource with a certain aesthetic criteria, for those seeking more sustainable options without sacrificing their sense of style. A fusion of ethics and aesthetics, style and sustainability, of economics and environment, with the aim of illustrating that these concepts are not mutually exclusive. 


Greenloop is a style conscious, eco-fashion shopping resource specializing in sustainable apparel and accessories for men and women, grounded in good design.  All brands listed by Greenloop employ a variety of responsible practices, including: using eco-friendly, sustainable materials; employing energy efficient and low-impact production; investing in renewable energy and carbon offsets; and maximizing recycling and waste reduction. In addition to these practices, these companies engage in fair trade, support organic agriculture, engage in sweat-shop free production, protect human rights, and donate to various environmental non-profit groups through in-kind and financial gifts.

Each of the brands represented on Greenloop has a unique, very human story of stewardship, creativity, craftsmanship, passion and vision, operating on the principle of the Triple Bottom Line: People, Planet and Profit.  They are environmentalists, designers, visionaries, humanitarians, animal rights activists, yogis, artists, musicians, writers, teachers, lawyers and more.  Read about them.  Talk about them.  Support them....we do.

While we do a lot in terms of environmental and social responsibility, we are not perfect and do not claim to be so.  We work on improving our business practices and minimizing our environmental footprint every day.  With this in mind, we feel our product mix is a solid step in the right direction toward a more sustainable way of life.  Some products are made using a portion of "conventional" materials in addition to more eco-friendly textiles and some are not made nearby, however, the finished goods we offer are more planet and people friendly, on balance, than their conventional counterparts: doing less harm, increasing awareness, increasing demand for more sustainable fashion and educating all of us along the way.  Our selection of well designed, fashion conscious and functional, clothing, bags, belts, footwear, jewelry and gifts gives you the opportunity to vote with your dollar for a sustainable economy and a healthier planet....without sacrificing your aesthetic aspirations.

We Believe:


We believe small changes and conscious choices can produce big results.  


We believe how we dress can be a good place to conversation and share knowledge about environmental issues.


We believe that what you wear and where you shop is a reflection of who you are and what you stand for.
