9 Summer Sustainable Outfits Full of Ethical Fruity Accessories

I’ve always been of the belief that summer is a happy time, full of fun times and a great way to regenerate that happy mindset. It’s also a great time to start bringing out some inner kookiness and some inner creativity. I think that’s why I’ve fallen in love with bags (purses, clutches, totes) that look like fruit, and have fruit on them. I’ve included watermelon, lemon, cherries, grapefruit, and pineapples! Below are 9 sustainable outfits full of the best ethical artisan fruit creations.
