LIVIA FIRTH INTRODUCES THE NEW ECO AGE.

Welcome to Eco-age.com. During the past few months we’ve begun moving into this beautiful new home online created with Saatchi & Saatchi in Italy in order to begin the next phase of the Eco Age adventure: an online magazine and exquisitely curated shop.
Moving online gives us the chance to talk to ‘curious consumers’ all over the world. These are the consumers who care about the impact of what they do, purchase and eat but they also love beautiful things and a meaningful aesthetic.
Crucially we (I am definitely a curious consumer) understand that the people who produce the stuff we love often get a very raw deal and want to do something to redress that.
Eco-Age.com is really all about the story. We want to know that precious narrative behind people, products and places. That’s what our stellar team and brilliant columnists bring to life. Once you know and understand the story you are no longer consuming in a vacuum. And the pieces you acquire take on extra significance. They become part of your world. They aren’t just incidental. It’s precisely these types of pieces that can trace their heritage back to producers and place but are still beautiful and desirable that I have sourced (and in some cases designed) for the Eco-Age.com shop.
I hope you really enjoy visiting here, stay as long as you can and bookmark Eco-Age.com for frequent return visits. Our regular writers and columnists are not only our dear friends and heroes but some of the most fascinating and passionate commentators on culture and sustainable stories around. Over the next few months you will be guaranteed great columns on everything from eco luxe fashion to cycling, but also you'll stumble upon all manner of unexpected contributors and commentaries. You’ll never know what to expect but it will always be entertaining and inspiring.
Enjoy!
Livia.
