Introducing Looptworks

Posted Aug 26, 2010 by Jessy Lang in Products

Turning waste into want is the idea behind Looptworks, a clever new company out of Portland that makes products from 100% pre-consumer industrial excess. These are top quality materials left over at the end of a production run that would otherwise be discarded. According to their statistics, a typical factory discards about 60,000 pounds of waste a week. Wow. Looptworks set out to conserve our limited resources by using what already exists to make their products. The result is unique, high quality, limited-edition upcycled items. Short of purchasing everything second hand, this concept makes more sense for the environment than so many other eco-friendly endeavors. I like the way they think!

Good Things Boutique is currently carrying Looptworks laptop and iPad sleeves made from nylon neoprene that they salvaged from a wetsuit factory, 100% cotton t-shirts for men and women that have cool conservation minded prints, as well as an awesome shorts style for men and a cute sporty dress for the ladies. Please stop by the store to check them out and stay tuned for more great styles coming in from this cool new company.
