Arte Ideas Features Eco-Friendly Gifts of Distinction

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 5, 2012 -- Stylish, ethical and kind to the planet are just some of the phrases that apply to the eco-chic offerings at Arte Ideas. The boutique features fashion, lifestyle and eco-friendly gifts that allow clients to buy elegant and fun products without compromising their ethics.

“My long-term ambition has always been to make a difference to people’s lives and work towards a sustainable society,” said Anne Page, owner of the shop. “I had become disillusioned and disenchanted with our throwaway society, which has made me look at ways in sourcing products and materials to reverse this trend.”
The online boutique has assembled an extensive array of environmentally friendly products by local designers in the UK and Wales and others worldwide. Page features handcrafted items of precious metals and organic materials from an array of designers, some of which contribute significantly to charitable concerns. Other items are handmade through the Women’s Uplift Programme in Bangladesh that helps women gain financial independence. She also features items offered by Vietnamese organizations that support disadvantaged women and farmers in that country.

One of the largest environmental offenders is plastic bags and Arte Ideas has the solution with a unique line of Turtle Bags inspired by the shelled creatures. Turtles often mistake upturned plastic bags for jellyfish, with deadly consequences. The shop also offers a selection of stylish and reusable designer totes that are waterproof. Constructed of recycled materials, the bags hold up to 44 pounds and are made of recycled materials. Totes are available in a wide range of colors, designs and patterns.
Those living in condos, apartments and other locales where space is at a premium will appreciate planters made of recycled fish feed bags and recycled cement bags. The collapsible planters fold flat for easy storage when not in use. Specialty grow kits are available featuring mild to spicy peppers, herbs and bee-preferred flowers.

Arte Ideas makes shopping for eco-friendly gifts for women exceedingly easy, with a selection of organic jewelry and luxurious pashmina scarves, along with handmade cosmetic bags, handbags and belts. Men’s fashions include hemp socks and snoods, and one-of-a-kind jewelry constructed from reclaimed tins and recycled metals. Cups, clothes and toys are available for the youngest members of the family, in addition to vegetable grow kits to encourage a child’s love of nature.
The shop features the world’s first Barista standard reusable coffee cup, along with decorative and classy Aqua Stream portable water bottles, organic skin care products, and mango wood kitchen essentials for the home chef.

The Arte Ideas boutique is dedicated to bringing ethical, stylish and environmentally friendly products to clients from around the world. The exclusive eco-friendly products allow individuals to remain true to their conscience, while supporting worthy causes and aiding those in less developed countries help themselves attain financial independence and a better standard of living.
