Emergency number one: There's a fire in your pants! Call the fire brigade. After they put out the fire, you have the perfect conversation-starter in your belt. It's made from recycled fire hoses and 50% of profits go to the London Fire Brigade Benevolent Fund.

The buckle is 100% recycled pewter. The belts come in a range of widths and colours. Choose from lever-style, or single or twin pronged buckles. It's great to see hoses past their use-by-date turned into something
functional again.

Works out at 38.95 pounds plus international shipping.


Emergency number two: Organic Basics. I just want a nice fitting t-shirt! Two local labels rocking organic lines right now are Gorman, and Skin and
Threads.

Gorman's basics line has kept focused on good cut to set of the quality
materials. The range includes pieces made from bamboo and organic cotton. Staples include tees, cardigans, tanks, and underwear.

If you want classic and colourful basics, forget your mass produced rags
and head to Australian label Skin and Threads. Most t-shirts lose that
soft feel after a few washes, but these stay smooth.They have tank dresses, leggings and boy shorts all in organic cotton.

Stockists in Australia, NZ and the U.S.A.
