Looking to make your Christmas giving list greener this year? These sustainable brands on sale this Black Friday give you no excuse not to! We’ve got a few exclusive sale codes, too!
By Chere Di Boscio
Ok, I have to admit – I was of two minds with regards to posting this article. On the one hand, we’ve written about the merits of Buy Nothing Day many times in this magazine, and I’m a strong proponent of only buying what you need, when you need it. On the other hand, many readers of Eluxe Magazine have told me or written to me to say they’re bummed out that they can’t afford sustainable fashion or organic beauty products.
Well, maybe the fact that there are several sustainable brands on sale this Black Friday can help.
That’s not to say I’m suggesting you should go into a consumerist frenzy and buy, buy buy! I’m just saying that if you can’t normally afford ethical fashion or clean beauty brands, or if you want to stock up on eco-friendly basics or buy your loved ones sustainable gifts for the holidays but don’t have much budget, now is your chance.
Here’s my pick of some of the best sustainable brands on sale this Black Friday. Happy shopping!
