Olive Barn in Houston
Published Wednesday, August 06, 2008 by Bulb Hunter | 0 Comments | E-mail this post
We survived the tropical storm and everybody showed up to work today in Houston. With most of my morning meetings canceled, I visited a company that is making eco-waves in the garden and home world, the Olive Barn. The proprietor is Jacqueline D'Elia and the product is a smart line of responsibility produced in vogue products (insert the words of your choice: eco-friendly, green, fair trade, sustainable).
The latest arrival when I was there: the eco-weekender messenger bags and other accessories. The bags were made out of recycled rice from Cambodian workers and were produced and delivered 100% fair trade. Gecko Traders supplied the bags:
Our president, Kimberley Person, founded Gecko Traders as a fair trade [link] company in 1999 after traveling in some of the more remote areas of Southeast Asia. Her mission: dependable employment for the disabled and disadvantaged. Her method: bringing fair trade into the fashion world.
They can not be purchased from Gecko, but must be purchased from their retailers, like Jackie. Be sure to check out the Olive Barn Website for the latest introductions Jackie is bringing to the consumer. Thank you, Jackie, for ALL of the hard work it takes to bring the products to market (be sure to check out her blog where she has just included her own write up on the bags).
I am off to a pleasurable day of driving the Houston roads.
