Greensleeve: A Plastic-Free iPad 2 Sleeve Made With Zero Electricity
Posted By Ecouterre On January 25, 2012 @ 5:00 pm In Eco-Fashion Brands,Eco-Friendly Accessories | No Comments
The Greensleeve iPad 2 case [4] by Gone Studio [5] is devoid of many things. Clad in all-natural wool felt with a steel-button closure, it’s completely plastic-free, a conscious decision by LEED-certified [6] designer George Elvin in the aftermath of the Gulf Coast oil spill [7]. The case is also made entirely without electricity—by Elvin himself, in fact—on a 1935 foot-powered Singer sewing machine [8] in his Indianopolis studio. Still not impressed? Elvin assembled the machine himself from salvaged components. It lives!
