September’s team picks is all about back-to-school season—whether you’re returning to the classroom or the office—and where to shop more sustainably for it.
Team picks for the new academic—and office—year
September is back-to-school—or the office—season for readers in the northern hemisphere, and it’s often a time when people are thinking about investing in new workwear and items for their kids’ upcoming academic year, like uniforms and stationery. But how can you know it’s all made responsibly? Good On You’s brand directory is a good place to start, as is this round-up of items from brands rated “Good” and “Great”, selected by our global team. In it, you’ll find items for children including Joyya’s pouch for school supplies, Thela’s pocket case, and Unbelts’ fun belt for little ones. Elsewhere, there’s a smart shirt from Dorsu that’ll feel fresh when you walk back into the office after your holiday, and a banana necklace from Futura Jewelry that’ll undoubtedly elicit a smile from anyone who notices it.
