I am a huge fan of small eco-friendly boutique shops because they are usually the most creative and offer innovative eco-friendly solutions.  I have received a tiesthatmatter eco-friendly clutch bag as a giveaway to a lucky reader.  In order to have a chance to win this giveaway, you need to signup for the free eco-friendly email newsletter.

www.tiesthatmatter.com makes pillows and fashionable bags out of used ties.  The proceeds are used to support women in need living in Atlanta.  The company supports a simple and real social cause that offers eco-friendly functional and fashionable solutions to our carryon needs.  I love the concept and business model: used ties repurposed to pillows and fashionable purses and carryon bags with proceeds going to women in need.  Support their efforts today!
