BluWash: we can finally start washing our jeans again!

By ShinyMedia on March 12th, 2008

Bluwash_denim_softenerI’m in no way obsessive enough to do wrench rubbings on my back pocket with sandpaper but I do care about how my jeans look. This basically means that for certain pairs I try not to wash them until the smell makes me dry-heave. I’ve also had to get out of my favourite habit of wiping my hands on my jeans so I’ve reacquainted myself with hand dryers and kitchen aprons.
BluWash is special denim softener ($26) which promises to neutralise chlorine and apparently bonds to the fabric to minimise friction and protect the denim. What’s more it’s eco-friendly and biodegradable so even though you’ll be washing your jeans more hopefully it wont be making too much difference to the environment.

Eco Slipper from Po-Zu

By admin on December 19th, 2007

PozuslipperChristmas is a time of slippers. Not only are they inevitably going to be sitting under the majority of Christmas trees this season, they are also obligatory footwear for Christmas day, when it’s traditional to go for as long as possible without getting dressed. That’s what the festival was originally about, the whole birth of Christ thing only came when the Romans introduce Christianity to these shores. Fact.
Po-zu have created the ultimate slipper (£70). It really is the gift that keeps on giving. The slippers use no harmful chemical glues and are designed to be repairable so should last a while. When they are finally finished, they are 99% biodegradable, which is high by anyone’s estimation. Even the shoe box is degradable and can be planted in the earth where it will sprout seeds.
Ok, so they look a bit like Ugg(ly) boots but as slippers, I think they’re quite stylish.
