Its been a long time that we updated anything on our blog. I am not a great writer but I thought let me put some thoughts together and take a fresh approach introducing ourselves to our readers, followers, customers & friends.
We are a bunch of friends that strongly believed in making a difference in an area which is a little unconventional. Let me explain. Most of us have heard about using green technology for power conservation, preservation of natural resources etc. While we believe in ALL of these, we thought of using this concept in areas of style, fashion & home. Let's be honest, most of us are addicted to buying our fashion accessories more often than any other non-essential item. Having said that, if we ask a simple question to ourselves..."Can I make a lil difference being concious is what I am buying". In other words, there are certain fashion accessories that most of us end up buying....no matter what the environmental or socio economic impact is. No one asks one self.. "Can this stylish accessory be replaced by an equivalent alternative that causes less harm to nature or rather is produced in a way that might benefit some others"....Sounds stupid right? Well not really. We surveyed 80 friends (& friends of friends ) to find an answer. Surprisingly enough, while no one thought about the question stated above, 72% of them said they would love to buy an alternative fashion accessory if it doesnt compromise on style or looks.
The result of survey was an eye opener and the idea of Terra Trendz was born :)... Like a typical small business, we struggled for funding, awareness, investors, finding right vendors etc. I dont mean to bore you guys with these details but in the end we got a green, fashionable & socially concious website going. We feature everything from natural handbags & fairtrade handbags to recycled glass jewelry & clay jewelry .

What do we believe in?
We are open minded individuals constantly looking for vendors, artists and free lancers who are environmentally & socially concious. As simple as that :) We strive hard to constantly look for chic looking fashion & home accessories which are not only "green" but also look hot :)
I like to boast about some of prettiest stuff that sometime is available exclusively on our website :) Check out a few cool jewelry & handbags below. Rest assured, each one is a green fashion accessory. Click on them to find their story.
Let me know your views. I plan to share a lot of stories, products & nice work done by artists (regardless if we sell them or not). See you soon!
