Who said you can’t shop till you drop, and contribute socially at the same time? OurBetterPlanet is back with their second edition of Conscious Souk – a thoughtfully curated weekend of sustainable shopping, engaging workshops, food stalls, and more, so you can do exactly that! You can make a difference with your purchases by shopping mindfully and supporting brands that contribute to socio-economic and environmental growth – a choice that can not only fill you with a sense of pride, but also lead to a better future.
Mark your calendars, gather your gang and head to the Bangalore International Centre (BIC) on March 26 and 27, to shop from sustainable and ethical Indian brands. We promise you will be spoiled for choice. Brands like Bihart, Ora, Dvaar, Ecofemme, Kumbaya, and many more will set up stalls filled with an array of goodies to choose from. Stock up on artisan clothing, eco-friendly yoga mats, cold pressed soaps, or reusable cloth pads. Love spending time in the kitchen? Pick up some traditional cookware. You can also buy wine glasses or plates made from pinecones at Agro Composite’s stall. Jewellery your middle name? Brands like Noupelle, Whebyabira and Ekibeki are sure to delight! Each product is crafted with care, using principles of fair trade so the makers earn sustainable livelihoods. And when you’re done shopping, attend some awesome workshops. Learn how to compost or get crafty with macrame. And what’s a shopping spree without some food! Head to the food stalls and try vegan desserts from The Perf Ice Candy. Coffee enthusiast? The fresh roasts by Araku are a must try! We definitely recommend trying the plant-based chicken nuggets or burgers from Wildermart as well. What’s more? You’ll get to interact with a community of sustainable shoppers who are as dedicated to conscious living as you are.
So, are you ready to hop on to a more mindful lifestyle?
