Translation: mindful of their impact on our planet…
It is our sincerest hope that this friend of whom we speak has many like-minded friends (maybe you are one?!) who shop with their hearts and minds, considering our planet esPECially during the holiday season. But, even if you’ve got just one buddy who fits this description -- well, consider this guide your helping hand in finding them a most perfect gift.
This year, we’re proud to bring you a collection of recycled/repurposed/handmade goods vetted by our Care FP team, who work tirelessly to ensure that we at Free People are identifying and employing more conscientious practices in all facets of our business.
Without further ado, here are 15 of our most coveted Care-ing pieces, so that you can truly Gift Good:
From Bottle To Top
Our Ripple Recycled Blend Blanket Scarf is made of 50% recycled polyester (yet very plush!), which means that, with your purchase, several plastic water bottles and other nonbiodegradable materials never found an unsustainable end. Made with GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certified yarn.

Just The Flax
55% of our We The Free Heritage Henley is made with organic certified Euro flax linen. In other words, this fiber can be traced directly back to the French farms from where it’s harvested. FACT: 1 acre of euro flax linen harvested = over 1.5 metric tons of CO2 absorbed from the atmosphere.
