EcoLoco is an eco friendly and human friendly gift store in Strasburg, PA with a mission to make a difference. There simply aren’t many places that you can shop online or in person where you can make an impact like the one you make when you purchase products from Eco Loco.  This is because all of the products we carry are hand selected from companies that create their products through fair trade and/or eco friendly means. While you’re making a difference, you’re adding the most incredible recycled handbags, eco friendly purses, jewelry made from recycled materials and green friendly apparel to your wardrobe. How You Make A Difference By Purchasing “Fair Trade” Simply put, fair trade goods were created by people who received a fair wage (often 5 times that of the normal population).  These individuals are given the ability to compete in what is now a global economy in ways they could not have previously.  In addition, there are typically agreements put in place that guarantee them long term relationships with international buyers. Whether you’re purchasing a recycled purse or eco handbag made from candy wrappers, a tire, newspaper, juice bags or rice sacks, you can be sure that it has been certified by a third party organization such as the Fair Trade Federation. Wow Your Friends With A Product Made With Recycled Material It’s funny how many women tell us about the reactions they get when carrying or wearing products made from recycled materials like rubber, denim, paper, magazines and more.  You could be wearing the loudest sweater in the world and someone will still notice your clutch made from a recycled skateboard. We think this is because the patterns that can be created from these eco friendly and green materials make what you’re wearing a piece of art with a story, not just another bag.
