Nordstrom Has an Under-the-Radar Section of Eco-Friendly Goods Under $100
nordstrom.com
Sustainable, ethically sourced, and eco-friendly are more than buzzwords. They're factors that are increasingly important to shoppers, and countless studies prove it. For instance, about 70 percent of consumers think it's at least moderately important that brands are sustainable and environmentally responsible, according to a recent IBM study. Luckily there are hoards of brands doing just that, and you can actually find a few of them hiding at Nordstrom.
Earlier this year, Nordstrom partnered with Goodee to launch an under-the-radar marketplace of artisanal goods from around the world on its site. Not only are the home and kitchen pieces artfully created, but they're also responsibly sourced and ethically made. And the best part is that everything is $100 or less. You can even find a few things for as little at $11.

Goodee's team of sustainability experts carefully selects items that are transparently sourced and designed to last (unlike common fast fashion finds). By partnering with Nordstrom, it's bringing these high-quality goods to even more people interested in products that not only look stylish and work well, but are good to the environment and the people who help create them, too.
The featured brands include Graf Lantz, Tala Knuckle, The Organic Company, and more labels known for their striking products and responsible business practices. You can shop everything from glassware and cutting boards to bath towels and table lamps. Ahead, scroll through a handful of our favorite picks from Nordstrom's little-known section.
