Wood & Bamboo Trends | Style And Home

Representing style in fashion and home goods that gives us a sense of the environment and nature -  examples of bamboo, wood, natural fiber products are everywhere!

Recent examples in my own life support by this trend.   Last week I stopped by my son's office and his handsomeness was wearing wood frame sunglasses something like this pair I linked.   I gift shipped a cool and trendy wood watch to my other son as a surprise and he absolutely loved it!   While department store shopping, I kept seeing displays of this bamboo style handbag styled with colorful scarf inserts.

With awareness of how synthetic materials effect out environment, trends and consumer preferences are gearing toward eco friendly, compostable and sustainable materials as shown in these examples from various articles and insights at Trendhunter.com
