Support Eco-Friendly Businesses, Do Good
Where we spend our money matters. Supporting ethical brands that create products sustainably not only helps them succeed, but the more they succeed, the more other businesses will take notice.
If they do well enough, even big business will pay attention. And if enough of us shop our values, we can enable social change at a high level. That said, discovering alternative products and new brands can be challenging at times as well as time consuming. That's why we were excited when we met the team at a company called "DoneGood". (Like Looptworks, they're a certified b Corporation)
DoneGood has created a browser extension and mobile phone app that senses when you're shopping online and shows you options from socially responsible brands.
Not only does it make it easy to find mission-driven brands, many of the participating brands offer a discount for the first time you utilize the extension or mobile app. (including Looptworks — we're offering 20% off to all @DoneGoodTeam extension users!)
To learn more and install the extension visit www.donegood.co.

Creating A Timeless Duffle Bag
The design of the classic duffel bag has come a long way since its initial inception as a military issued carryall. Early iterations took the form of a top loading cylindrical hold all bag with a drawstring closure. These bags were practical, but they were anything but pretty.
Nowadays, duffels have been created to take on any scenario - the weekender bag, carryall and the gym bag all have a place and purpose.
