Shopping without the guilt! Some of the hottest items on the market right now actually benefit charitable causes. Celebrities are into the stylishly generous craze as well. Items like the Anya Hindmarch’s I’m Not a Plastic Bag (seen on the arm of Kiera Knightly (and her boyfriend!)) may have long waiting lists, but, like Market Bags by Jaye Hersh (owned by Eva Longoria), they are fun and chic, AND support various worthy- and much deserving-causes! There are plenty of ways to get your fashion fix while also becoming an environmentalist/humanitarian/activist. Check out these Network posts and get shopping!

With San Francisco banishing plastic bags, the Anya Hindmarch tote is a must-have for me. Thanks to Coquette’s insider scoop to bi-pass the waiting list, I recently ordered 2 (did I mention they are only $15)!

“Adorable, affordable and support an amazing cause,” Glam Spree highlights Market Bags at Intuition.

As if being the President’s niece, a model and Ralph Lauren’s soon-to-be-daughter-in-law wasn’t enough, Lauren Bush is also a humanitarian and a designer. She Finds has the scoop on her reversible Feed Bag.

Believe it or not, there is more to shoes than cork wedges and Jimmy Choos. They can be the first step to sending a child to school in Africa. Shoe Blog shines light on a reader’s very worthy cause!

You may not agree with his politics, but it’s hard to dislike Al Gore’s environmental efforts. The Bag Lady features Hayden-Harnett’s Friends of Al eco-friendly tote (10 trees are planted for each bag purchased)! At it’s affordable price, there’s certainly no “lock-box” required.

From landfills to catwalks, Hippyshopper covers many opportunities for ethical consumerism.

Stay classy (and charitable),

Annie
