Let me introduce you to Elk. They are an Australian based apparel and accessory company that focuses on great design and sustainable practices. Elk only produces two collections a year ensuring that their clothing is of the highest quality and well-designed. All of the wood that is used in their accessories comes from sustainable timber sources, and almost every other material is locally sourced reducing the amount of energy and gas it takes to ship materials. They are automatically cool in my book because of their eco-friendly practices, and their style is icing on the cake. This wooden, beaded necklace is a new favorite of mine. It makes such a statement! You would think it's really heavy, but the wooden beads keeps the necklace nice and light.
