Linda Loudermilk is a pioneer eco-savvy designer who has coined the term “luxury eco” and redefined eco-chic style. Environmentally friendly fashion doesn’t need to mean shapes hemp fabrics draping unflatteringly across the body. It can mean luxurious, fashionable and environmentally aware designs that would fit in on the top runways in Paris.
These pendants are a good example of her style. They’re designed to provoke discussions surrounding the lack of clean water for everyone, for water conservation and for human rights. At the same time, they’re stunning. They come in 4 colors — bronze, copper, silver and gold with 17% of the profits being donated to charities that are working towards clean water initiatives. The metals have been reclaimed and shaped into rustic and old fashioned looking faucets which are instantly recognizable by whoever may see it. A single crystal is suspended from the faucet heads to represent a drop of clean water which is necessary to sustain life of any kind.
Linda Loudermilk’s products are available in many different places online and in stores. Check out her website for more fashion forward, creative and definitely high end style. Her Mission Wear projects are designed to help clean water charities as well as provoke thinking of the global water crisis. More than a BILLION people worldwide do not have access to clean and safe water. Approximately 3.6 million people will die from water-related illnesses each and every year. This crisis has reached epidemic proportions with the western world drinking bottled water because they dislike the taste of tap water while people on a global scale are literally dying of thirst.
