EcoViva shirts

I am happy to announce that we are now offering two shirt styles with the intention to support the work of EcoViva, an amazing organization based in Oakland. They partner with low-income communities in El Salvador, and the rest of Central America, to promote environmental sustainability, economic self-sufficiency, and social justice.

Both shirt styles are made with 100% organic cotton fabric and thread, and feature a hand-stitched mangrove tree leaf applique. (Read more about the importance of protecting mangrove ecosystems here.) We will donate $25 to EcoViva every time a shirt sold.

*If you have problems purchasing through my website, you can make the transaction by contacting me directly through email at: zelayadesign@gmail.com. Personal checks are also accepted.*

With the recent floods in El Salvador, the largest in a generation, tens of thousands of families have been displaced. EcoViva, along with partner organizations in El Salvador, have been working hard to ensure that potable water, medical supplies and food can get to the most needed areas.

Climate change, coupled with the building and mismanagement of the dams along the largest river of El Salvador, have been the key causes of this disaster. You can read more here.

You can also support local communities recovering from the floods by directly donating to EcoViva.

Thank you!

Spaces

As I work to finish my line for fall, I keep searching for bits of inspiration here and there. I’m addicted to peeking into people’s houses to see how they have designed their home-life, how they like to move through it, what colors and shapes they surround themselves with, and how they chose to categorize/organize things…or not. Every house is unique because we all have unique experiences, passions, and aversions. Its like being able to see into people’s mind/brain work. I specially like to stalk the spaces section on Design Sponge. Here are a few images that have caught my eye recently:

I agree…

I appreciate the clean and fresh feel of the stark white, lime green, and wood…

I have hung jewelry, scarves, and belts on branches…but never a lamp like this, hmmm, beware housemates!

Bold and beautiful!!!
