Jute and Jackfruit Founder Featured in Down 2 Earth Boston

Down 2 Earth: An Exploration in Sustainable Living in Boston featured Jute and Jackfruit this week on their blog– check out the interview here. We will participate in the Sustainable Living conference at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston April 3 – 5. Stay tuned for more on this event.

A snippet from the interview:

So, you’re probably a little too familiar with all the “green washing” out there. As a genuine eco-conscious business owner, what do you do to reduce Jute & Jackfruit’s global footprint?

At Jute & Jackfruit, we source organic and sustainable fabrics for our clothing, and we also place strict environmental (and fair trade) criteria on the jewelry and accessories we carry. For example, one of our core clothing designers is Indigenous, a pioneer in fair trade and certified organic cotton knits. A good environmentally sustainable example in our jewelry collection is AnnaBuilt, which is handmade by Brooklyn-based artist Anna Johansson from unique, recycled metals. We also have Nahui Ollin handbags made from factory over-run and misprinted candy wrappers.
