In partnership with the Covenant House, this family-run business helps support homeless and at-risk youth across 35 locations in North America, and is committed to donating approximately 50,000 pairs of socks annually.

Carefree yet sophisticated, this tried and true silhouette is a favorite for both meeting the parents and those chilly home-for-the-holidays flights — plus, it's made from 100% LENZING™ viscose, an eco-friendly material sourced from trees.
SiiZU was created in 2015, the same year that the groundbreaking fast fashion documentary "The True Cost" was released. Wrestling with their own misgivings about the fashion industry and baffled by the lack of variety and inaccessible price points of sustainable, ethically-made apparel, its founders set out to build a brand that would offer low-impact, price-inclusive pieces and employ only natural materials.

Pro tip: as viscose is a delicate material, we recommend dry cleaning your poncho for best care!

Yune has become well established since launching in 2013, with a product line that is constantly evolving. Their line is sold across the globe, but the focus of the brand has never shifted from unexpected designs, crafted in Oregon and printed in the same neighborhood where its founder lives. Yune Yoga also gives a portion of their profits to local shelters, charities, and under funded schools.

Pro tip: to keep your mat in tip top shape, hand wash and air dry it!

Design Table Runner — Territory

A choice product alongside the Lark & Ives Continental Snap Wallet and Jules Kae Pom Beanie, this 18" x 70" table runner is perfect for the return of family gatherings and dinner nights with friends.

Made from 100% ethically sourced cotton with certified AZO free and low-impact dyes, this rich indigo runner was designed in collaboration with TERRITORY and crafted by a female-led artisan group in Jaipur, India. The screen-printed center design alternates from a clear white to a warmer hue, with the organic, slightly wavy lines adding a lived-in touch. While it was made to warmly top the table, we ourselves feel inclined to hang it as an art piece or drape it over a rustic ladder by the fireplace.

TERRITORY, the brand behind it, was created by two meditation and mindfulness practitioners, Rebecca and Summer. With backgrounds in peace building and development work in Latin America, and experience advocating for social justice in Africa, they sought to examine the effects of consumption and explore a different kind of consumer culture: one based on purpose and intention. What could mindful purchasing look like, and how could it have a positive effect on our environment, society, and personal lives? These questions are woven into their line of homewares and goods — including this table runner — all intended to help you craft a well-lived life.

The production of this piece helped employ 50 weavers, 28 printers, and roughly 57 additional workers which helped with sewing, cutting, packaging, and quality assurance — all of whom earned 40% above the local minimum wage, meeting far above the living wage standard.

Pro tip: for best care, hand or machine wash this runner on cold, lay it flat to dry, and iron on medium (non-print side only) as necessary.

Choice #4:

The Brow Atelier Revitalizing Brow Enhancing Serum

Retail value: $70

You know what they say... "If the eyes are the window to the soul, that makes your brows the frame"

Okay, so maybe they don't say that, but changing your brow shape CAN have a remarkable impact on the way your face looks. If you're a recovering over-plucker or bushy brow hopeful, this choice product alongside the Karma Organic Spa Festive Nail Polish Bundle and Lujo Bar Eucalyptus Shower Steamers is for you.

Made with clean ingredients and a cruelty-free formula, this brow enhancing serum restores sparse or thinning brows naturally. Just click and brush your brows with this serum each night before bed and renew your natural brows within 4-6 weeks!

A concept birthed from a notion of focus, The Brow Atelier honed in on perfecting what frames the face — the eyebrows. Their years of work with professional artists and estheticians has informed the development of their easy to use and high performance products.

Pro tip: use this serum to lightly style your brows each day by incorporating it into your morning routine!

Eucalyptus Shower Steamers (Set of 4) — Lujo Bar

Retail value: $22

Calling all non-bath people!

An ingenious choice product alongside the The Brow Atelier Revitalizing Brow Enhancing Serum and Karma Organic Spa Festive Nail Polish Bundle, these shower steamers are designed to bring you all the self-care, aromatherapy, and tranquility of bath culture... while cutting out the bath part entirely.

Bath culture gets a lot of praise (as it should), but let's face it... soaking in sudsy, murky bath water isn't for everyone. Sometimes we don't have the time, the patience, or hey, even the tub to participate in this act of self care.

That's where shower steamers come in.

Like bath bombs for your shower — but somehow even cooler — these small-batch made bars are packed the intoxicating scent of menthol and eucalyptus. Simply light a few candles (or don't), place a bar at the base of your shower floor, and let it transform your bathroom into the sanctuary you deserve. Perfect for a post-workout wind-down, a quiet moment of reflection, or just because, these steamers make the zen of bath time accessible anywhere, anytime.

In Spanish, lujo (“lu-ho”) means luxury and bar is meant to convey that your bar should be stocked with little luxuries. In 2018, Ivonne Padilla set out to merge her creativity, Latina heritage, and love of showers to develop a line of plant-based products in Hamden, Connecticut that would engage the senses and elevate the spirit. Thus, lujo bar was born as an impactful culmination of all of these things — a labor of love, meant to spread love to everyone who experiences her brand: from her suppliers, to her employees, to her customers.

Pro tip: place your steamer closer or further away from the shower drain to control the scent!

Festive Nail Polish Bundle — Karma Organic Spa

Retail value: $21.99

A choice product alongside the The Brow Atelier Revitalizing Brow Enhancing Serum and Lujo Bar Eucalyptus Shower Steamers, this pair of holiday hues has you covered on all fronts this winter — from the festive gatherings with family to the snowy days inside!

Add a little out-the-door shimmer with bold Soirée Red (pair with: your best NYE dress and the new Taylor Swift album), or curl up by the fireplace with soft pastel Snowflake (pair with: a Comma Home Plush Throw Blanket and The Nutcracker soundtrack).

Not only will your nails pop, they'll also be naturally strengthened thanks to ingredients like calcium and coffee extract. Plus, you can enjoy at-home mani/pedis without that chemical scent, thanks to an entirely non-toxic, vegan, and cruelty free formula.

Family owned and operated by a husband and wife duo, Karma Naturals is an industry leader when it comes to their clean formulas, opting out of the toxic ingredients usually found in nail polish. By pioneering the clean beauty movement, they're changing the way the world thinks about personal care and a healthier way of life.

Pro tip: “my nail polish is drying” is the perfect excuse for a moment to yourself amidst the holiday chaos!

La Mano Treasure Earrings

Handmade and designed in LA by an all-female artisan team, these 18k rose gold plated beauties were made custom for the Alltrue community by popular demand. Not only are they sleek, smart, and stylish — they're also cadmium, nickel, and lead free, as well as hypoallergenic.

LA MENO is a women-owned, handcrafted jewelry brand based in Los Angeles, California. The first part of their name, "LA" is a nod to their roots, while "MENO" is Italian for little or small, signifying a "less is more" approach to design and creation of dainty pieces that fit into our everyday lives.

Founded by Cherie, a new graduate with an interest in design and desire to create opportunities for other creatives, LA MENO is committed to helping talented makers to gain financial freedom through jewelry making.

Pro tip: while 5" long, these threader earrings are designed to hang at 2.5" on either side!

Natura's Castanha Hand & Foot Creams

Retail value: $36

There’s a lot to love about the cold-weather season, but one thing we’d all rather avoid? Dry, cracked winter skin. Um, no thanks!

A choice product duo alongside the @lamenojewelry Treasure Earrings, these ultra-nourishing, oh-so moisturizing, and non-greasy creams will have you hooked and never looking back. We would know: we've had the Castanha Hand Cream on our desks since our first partnership with Natura back in 2018 👀

Beyond its internal Alltrue fame, Natura’s Castanha Hand & Foot Creams have achieved international, cult-like popularity — and for good reason. This pair of nourishing, vegan, and fair trade balms is plant-powered by Amazon-derived ingredients like Castanha (also known as the Brazil Nut). This deeply hydrating nut comes from the Castanheira tree, the oldest and tallest tree in the Amazon, where it's harvested by 182 families from local communities, collected in remote areas along the river and pressed by hand to extract a nourishing white milk and transformed into an oil, butter, or milk.

Since 1969, Natura has harnessed the biodiversity of the Amazon rainforest to create a cruelty free, purpose-driven Brazilian beauty brand that has reshaped the landscape of what sustainable business can look like, working with local communities to keep the forest standing. As one of the largest and first publicly traded company to become B Corporation Certified, this brand has and continues to blaze the trail for so many of today’s clean skincare brands.
