Those that still think the eco-friendly world is a grey and uninviting place to be have never been to the dazzlingly brilliant Eco-Age, the brainchild of Livia Firth and her brothers; a business that is inspirational and trailblazing in so many ways. Here, you could hire their consultancy team and turn your entire home green, or simply commit to buying recycled wrapping paper and Fairtrade tree baubles (stripey cotton penguins for me..!) this Christmas. Whether your eco-needs are big or small, decorative or practical, Eco-Age presents a chic and modern, alternative attitude to the festive season and beyond. I found original and stylish presents for all the teenagers in my life and fell in love with the Fairtrade Pachacuti panama hats and trilbys. Products can be local heroes or exotic finds but all have a squeaky-clean conscience and a story to tell… Livia ‘s enviable style and energy infused with her activist passion prove a potent combination. I’m inspired. Join the club…
