• Inspiration for the “Electric Love” rings must have struck Seattle-area jewelry company Grain like lightning, as the first version was the absent-minded result of being bored in an art studio filled with junk electrical wire.
• American Apparel’s upcycled vintage collection, California Select, is full of flirtatious ’50s-era dresses with a modern twist for fall.
• Speaking of dresses, we still love the form-fitting silhouettes of Tesco’s recycled-textile dresses in collaboration with From Somewhere.
• Poland made a bid to become the recycled-fashion capital of the world this spring with the second-annual RE-ACT Trashion Show, featuring exclusively upcycled and dead-stock designs.
• Here’s something for the men: Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale has Timberland boots with a recycled rubber sole and a lining made from recycled PET mesh and organic cotton. Prices go up August 2, so buy now to get 30 percent off these sexy eco-shoes.

We’re not sure how Philanthropist Boutique stays in business, but for the moment we don’t care. The San Francisco shop offers hot items from popular contemporary labels — among them 3.1 Phillip Lim, Alice + Olivia, Catherine Malandrino, Derek Lam, Issa, Marc by Marc Jacobs,  Marchesa, Rebecca Minkoff, Splendid, and Thakoon. So far, so good, but lots of boutiques sell these brands.

The twist? All of the profits are donated to Bay Area charities. That would be 100 percent. Wow!

The lucky beneficiary changes every three months, taking online votes into account. Currently it’s the Legal Aid Society-Employment Law Center, a nonprofit group that offers pro bono legal counsel to those in need.

Be sure to check out the online sale rack, currently packed with summer sundresses and pretty blouses.

Philanthropist Boutique, 3571 Sacramento Street, San Francisco, Calif. (415) 441-1750.

Timberland’s “Chelsea” boots from its Earthkeepers collection are about to go on sale during Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale, starting Friday. (See Page 79 of the online catalogue.)

Timberland’s website describes the eco-features so nicely, we want them to come in women’s sizes too:

Our Earthkeepers™ range features tough, rugged footwear made with the environment in mind. Thanks to moisture-wicking linings made from recycled materials, organic cotton content, rugged outsoles made with Green Rubber™ material and the all-day softness of leather from a silver-rated tannery, they’re durable, lightweight and always a talking point. This is laid-back comfort — with a conscience.

What all that means is a sole made from 42 percent recycled rubber and an organic cotton canvas lining that also incorporates 100 percent recycled PET mesh fabric. And more urban-rugged style than you can shake a stick at.

Timberland Earthkeepers “Chelsea” Boots, $99.90 at Nordstrom.com (starting July 16).

That’s where the genius of Adidas by Stella McCartney comes in. The London designer worked with organic materials and designed for a woman’s body in motion, so these are not your average sweats.

And just in time for summer, the Adidas website has discounted most of her offerings by 10 percent or more.

With free shipping on orders over $99, you might as well stock up on a whole new outfit, starting with these organic cotton French terry cover-up shorts — perfect after you finish swimming laps — and finishing with this yoga hoodie, with short bell sleeves for a little extra flair.

There’s appropriate gear for every sport and competition, from golf to triathlons. And everything is so well designed that you can’t help but want to hit the gym in green style.

All of Moop’s bags are stitched by hand using grown-in-the-USA cotton. In fact, she’s known for having quite a following on Etsy.

To celebrate its third anniversary and the introduction of its organic cotton Market Bags, Moop is offering 10 percent off all orders through Wednesday. Just enter coupon code MOOPLOVESYOU during checkout.

Market Bag in Organic Bright Cherry Red, $113 at MoopShop.com.

If you don’t recall our love for U.K. skincare and body line The Organic Pharmacy, here’s the short list of why its offerings are majorly covetable: Devotees include Gwyneth Paltrow and Madonna; each product balances an organic ingredient list with take-no-prisoners effectiveness; and those with sensitive skin will be like a kid in a candy shop — there’s even a line for expectant mothers and babies.

So that’s why we’re so pumped that the U.S. website is offering 25 percent off every purchase through Tuesday, June 15. Just enter coupon code DAYCAN25 during checkout — and be sure to select your country at the bottom to get U.S. prices. Free shipping on orders over $100 to boot!

Rose Hand & Nail Balm, $37.95 at TheOrganicPharmacy.com.

Here is where you will find a huge selection of organic and fair trade apparel at an appealing price point. And feel good while you shop, because 5 percent of profits has been pledged to World Vision and the World Wildlife Fund, two very deserving charities.

The online shop is owned by Adrian Desbarats, whom you may remember as the author of our Getting Around Greenwashing guide, published this week.

So check it out — you can rest assured that what you’re getting is the real deal (as well as a great bargain).

With summer just around the corner, I know I’m desperately in need of replacing some old tee-shirts. Luckily American Apparel has come through in the clutch with an awesome Friends & Family code that gives a 30 percent discount on everything.

“Everything” would include the brand’s kickass new nail polish line as well as its collection of organic tees for men and women. (And if you need a refresher on why American Apparel’s vertically integrated manufacturing is super eco, you can find it here.)

Just enter code AA5112414524FFd during checkout now through Sunday to take 30 percent off your whole order. Feel free to share with your friends too. Not a bad way to kick off the weekend!

Organic Fine Jersey Short Sleeve Tee, $18 at AmericanApparel.net.

Those of you who have been with us since the beginning may remember our Project Laundry feature, where we revealed that 82 percent of the energy expended during an article of clothing’s lifecycle comes from its laundering.

That means that no matter how ethically made your favorite jeans were, if you’re washing them using the wrong detergent, it doesn’t matter.

That’s why we’ve recently switched to Method’s Laundry Detergent. The plant-based formula is super concentrated, so a 20 ounce bottle lasts for 50 loads of laundry (for both high-efficiency and old school washing machines). The bottle itself is also a neat concept: It’s tiny, it has a pump (instead of a cap), and the plastic is completely recyclable. Most importantly, it gets clothes just as clean and fresh-smelling as your conventional detergent, but without the toxic chemicals.

Even better: Get $2 off your purchase of Method Laundry Detergent by printing out this coupon. Method is sold at Target and on Amazon.com too. Give it a shot!

We forgot to mention — happy Earth Week, everyone! To celebrate, Brilliant Earth is offering EthicalStyle.com readers a special deal: Purchase any ring and receive the above necklace as a free gift.

The “Green on the Inside” charm pendant is made from recycled sterling silver and features a bezel-set ethically sourced green sapphire on a dainty cable chain. And it’s yours free as a gift with purchase!

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, this might be the perfect occasion to treat your mom (and yourself!) to something special. Start by browsing BrilliantEarth.com’s collection of fabulous conflict-free diamond and gemstone rings and other baubles here.
