Gift giving can be stressful. There are so many products in the world and so many of us value different things when buying or receiving a gift. This can be even more difficult when shopping as a conscious consumer.

Not only do they represent an ethical choice, but also they often look beautiful and unique, making them perfect for any occasion.

This is great for the conscious consumers and our environment.

MADI Apparel does an amazing job in all aspects of their eco-system. The most impressive part of this eco-system is taking the time to develop a domestic manufacturing relationship.

American made fashion has long been outsourced by major brands, who actually have the ability to set up domestic production, but choose not to do so due to profit margins and pressure from stock holders.

Eco Friendly Gifts from Topiku Headwear

Topiku makes SoCal streetwear-inspired hats from textile offcuts, leather scraps and HDPE plastics typically found in buckets. Monty Hasan, Founder of Topiku set up the sustainable fashion brand after meeting artisan villagers in his native Indonesia, who crafted bags from upcycled waste materials such as billboards.

Topiku’s logo, hat patches and adjustable straps are made from salvaged shoe, belt and jacket leather, the brim is created from recycled plastic buckets, and the buttons placed on top of the hats are recycled from aluminium and tin cans.

Check out our interview with the founder of Topiku.

The base of the hats are produced from textile offcuts and adorned with Indonesian batik motifs, which are sourced from Indonesian fashion label Danar Hadi.

Topiku also works with a local textile manufacturer to source leftover and deadstock fabrics from curtain production – the majority of curtain offcuts are made from GOTS-certified organic cotton, a lower-impact source of the ubiquitous clothing fabric.
