How did Eco Evolution start?
Eco Evolution started during the pandemic with a blog on Instagram about me trying to take the plastic out of my home while my my family rolled their eyes!
But I was determined. Along the journey, I learned so much about the environment and how we can help repair Mama Earth and I decided to spread the love and help others find the products I was already using. I started doing farmers markets which served as the best market research for my concept.
And a year later I was opening a brick and mortar store!
Can you tell us a memorable story from a customer of yours ?
I had one customer who said her friend was so picky and never liked her gifts. But she felt the simplicity of the design of the Wooden Sound System and the wood/ black combo would be perfect for her. She was right and her friend loved the gift and wanted to see where she bought it and they came in together. It was a nice moment with customers.
How do you decide which products to sell in your store?
I do all the purchasing. I have a carbon footprint commitment that 80% of my products come from an average 8 hour drive. The products that are part of the 20% have to be fair trade and unique…something I cannot get locally. That’s where the Wooden Sound System comes in
If you could open another store in any city in the world (w/o any limitations), which city it would be and why?
Istanbul, naturally! I have been there and it’s a great city. I think my concept would do great there. Eco friendly products + local artisan market + sustainable coffee / tea cafe.
How did you discover Bitti Gitti?
On Faire, while looking for unique, eco friendly products for the December holiday season in 2021. They sold out fast and I’ve reordered 2 or 3 times already
