What's on looks at labels that focus on sustainability and don't leave pollution in their wake

Going by the increasing number of eco-friendly stores in town, going green is clearly chic. The materials of choice are usually jute, terracotta, coir, banana stem fibre and even dried flowers.

Jute Cottage, a popular store located at Indiranagar, has stocked up on bags, pouches, pen stands, jewellery and more for the eco-conscious shopper.

"We were the first to start the jute rage in the city, about nine years ago. Bags, pouches and lunch bags were the first products that we sold. We are always on the lookout for new and innovative designs that would interest our clientele," says PA Khan, store manager. The goodies are packed in crisp and sturdy bags made of old newspapers.






Another store, which is known for its eco-friendly products, is Wonders in Kammanahalli. They use jute, terracotta, coir, river grass and hand-made paper to make lamp shades, mats, coasters, carpets and bags.

Mirgaank Murals in Garuda mall stocks traditional Indian art, abstract art and modern art. "Our USP is that we beauty out of nothing," says Shailen Aggrahari, the store's managing director. Look out for their ethnic uralis (traditional urns), earthenware and embossed tiles.
