Father’s Day Sustainable Gift Guide
As Father’s Day approaches on Sunday, it’s had many of us at Shirley® thinking about what to gift. At times of the year like this I often think that underneath ‘Dad’ in the dictionary, it should read: “notoriously difficult to buy for”. I don’t know about you but I default to contributing to the overpopulated tie-rack or golf ball collection and there must be only so much beer or red wine a man can drink - although I think perhaps my dad would argue otherwise! So this year we’re thinking differently and we’ve put together a Father’s Day sustainable gift guide (of course it’s OEKO-TEX® certified!) to give you a helping hand.
Levi's 502 Denim Jeans For the cool dad’s out there! Levi’s use the ECO PASSPORT by OEKO-TEX® certification system as an integral part of the LS&Co. supply chain, helping to establish a clearer pathway toward safer chemistry in the apparel industry by providing enhanced levels of testing, verification and transparency when it comes to chemical safety.
Christy England Bathrobe Perfect for getting cosy after a long day! Moreover, we can’t help daydreaming about a Sunday morning coffee with the newspaper in this MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX® robe from Christy England, you have peace of mind that it’s a sustainable choice.
Calida X Viktor & Rolf Shirt Our favorite sustainable Swiss lifestyle brand has recently collaborated with Dutch luxury brand Viktor & Rolf, for a third time, on a new range of loungewear. We love this shirt and think Dad would too. Products at Calida are labelled with MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX®. Oh.. and did we mention there’s a sale on?
Mountain Warehouse T-Shirt For the outdoorsy Dad! Whether it’s something to wear out and about in the great outdoors or just for pottering at home, Mountain Warehouse ranges are STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certified and tested for harmful chemicals.
Standard socks, superhero socks and Star Wars socks The infamous gifting staple and certainly the go-to-gift when buying for men! But who doesn’t love a pair of snazzy socks? These Aldi numbers are labelled with MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX® so you know they’re both snazzy and sustainable.
Look out for the OEKO-TEX® brand when shopping for loved ones. The STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® label certifies a textile as being tested for harmful chemicals, so you know it’s safe to use or wear for you and your family. The MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX® label is a traceable product label for all kinds of textile and leather products and also guarantees that the textile or leather product has been manufactured using sustainable processes under socially responsible working conditions. You can use a unique product ID on the label to trace the countries and production facilities in which the labelled article was produced.
Happy Father’s Day, from us at Shirley®, to all the Dad’s out there.
