Ascension: Ethical Fashion, Accessories, Jewelry and Housewares

chef — Mon, 23 May 2011 06:58:11 +0000

Ascension This UK-based site has great collections of ethically mined gold and silver jewelry as well as super ranges of eco-fashion items for men, women and children and various eco products for house and home. We're big fans.

Our philosophy is simple: to bring you the most inspiring selection of fashion and lifestyle products made beautifully, made fairly and wherever possible made from organic materials.

We believe that ethical can be cool and that being stylish shouldn’t cost the earth. So, we’ve unearthed the most covetable ethically produced brands from around the world and sit these side by side in an inspiring, easy to shop ECO CHIC destination.

Producing our own labels
We want everything we bring you to be as ethical and inspired as possible, so we’re working with producer groups to develop our very own Ascension collections. Our work on the ground in India, Nepal, Turkey and Colombia has taken us back to the beginning: sourcing supply chains from scratch, managing cultural communication, investing a great deal of time, boundless energy and of course, money.

Our collections celebrate the finest artisanal skills (and fair of course), the best quality organic cottons and sustainable bamboo. Teamed with ageless, contemporary designs, they are living proof that you can unite great eco credentials and great style.

Working towards eco-excellence
We're working towards eco-excellence all the time – sometimes we reach it, sometimes we know there's a way to go. But we do everything in our power to get it right, closely monitoring supply chains, supporting suppliers, measuring and validating ethical credentials.

And we’ve got other projects on the go. Through our Rwandan project we’re working with fair trade producer groups, helping them develop sustainable skills.

Paving away for the next generation
We want to leave the world in a better state than when we found it. So we’re working with young designers to pioneer the new era of fashion and develop the next generation of the fashion industry to become more sustainable and ethically established.

We want to make a big difference in the future of the fashion industry, and we hope you’ll help us make it.

Solar Light Store: Landscape Garden Solar Lights

chef — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 18:01:12 +0000

Solar Light Store You name the type of solar light you're looking for, and SolarLightStore will have it. Solar Landscape Lights, Solar Post Lights, Solar Spot Lights, Solar Specialty Lights, Electric Landscape Lights... They've got a fabulous selection.

Our journey to a world-class brand started in 2002, when founders Doug Nielsen, Mark Hasebroock, and Julie Mahloch acquired Hammocks.com and began selling hammocks online. They saw the potential of launching more sites, each devoted to a product category. This became NetShops, where we continued to launch sites focused on home and outdoor living.

Wonder Years ...

We grew, but our workplace has remained a vibrant, exciting place where new ideas are welcomed and people love what they do. We've earned spots on the Best Places to Work roster, along with ranking on Internet Retailer and Inc. Magazine's lists of the fastest-growing online retail companies.

We knew we had something special here, so after several years of hard work and growth, we took our vision of true variety and revolutionary online shopping to the next level...

May We Present ...

In August 2009, we unveiled our new name and new, easy-to-navigate website. hayneedle.com includes 220 stores and counting, each devoted to a single product category. Best of all, you can shop all of them with one global shopping cart. From hammocks at hammocks.com to dart boards at - you guessed it - dartboards.com, Hayneedle dives deeply into selection; each store showcases true variety.

Unlike brick and mortar retail stores that are limited by shelf space, Hayneedle has virtually endless space. This allows our buyers to search the globe for the finest selection, best value, and unparalleled choices in products for your home, work, and play. Where you might see eight or nine styles of bar stools at a retail store, our bar stool site features over 900 styles. And the five or six patio furniture sets at the local garden store? Try 200 at patiofurnitureusa.com.

Creating Spaces

But it's more than larger selection; it's distinctive products that help you create the inviting spaces you envision for your home. Start with a unique, 50-bottle wine rack at ewineracks.com, then head to greathomebars.com for that rich oak bar you've been dreaming about, and barstools.com for a set of matching swivelers. Don't forget extra seating - visit clubchairs.com and add a couple of buttery soft leather chairs, and greatpubtables.com for the perfect tile-topped table. Finish it off with a luminous leaning mirror from simplymirrors.com ... and when you're ready, you'll love the one-stop, simple checkout. It couldn't be easier to create the living spaces you've always wanted.

The Point Is Choice

Combine this with the most knowledgeable, energetic, and friendliest Customer Care department, and Hayneedle becomes your one place to shop for everything related to your home, work, and play. You'll find true variety, a fun, easy shopping experience, and a whole team of people ready to help you. From our many stores and interesting collections of products, to on-time, careful shipping and a company who cares, Hayneedle is about choice. And if you're here, you've made the right one.
