Online handbag store Elemental Threads is one of the first web retailers to team up with ShopGreen. This new online application allows customers to purchase carbon offsets to reduce the environmental impact of their new accessory.
Innovation is nothing new to Elemental Threads. Unlike most purse stores, the website offers fully customizable accessories. With shoppers selecting the bag type, fabric, lining, and hardware, they can create a handbag that truly reflects their signature style.
Customers can then choose to donate an additional 1% of their order to reduce the carbon footprint created by their new purse’s production. Shoppers can choose from eight different carbon offset projects and see the pounds of carbon dioxide that will be offset.
“Elemental Threads takes pride in offering functional, customizable bags that offer high quality and personality with an eco-friendly twist,” said founder Emily Worden, “and ShopGreen dovetails perfectly with our mission.”
It’s so great to see retailers becoming more environmentally conscious and making it even easier for us to be a little greener!
