Nice to meet you! :)

When I moved from Brazil to New Zealand I left all my belongings behind. I packed a bag with my favourite essentials and I learnt how to live out of that suitcase for months until I found a place to call home. That was a bit of a challenge for someone that’s been working for the fashion industry for more than a decade.

Buying everything that I already had in another country sounded so silly, but also inevitable. At that time, I was 30 and I've learnt that pretty much everything is designed to break, so you buy more. And then you throw the old stuff away. But where is away again?

So I tried to buy as minimum as possible, all my furniture was second-hand as well as many of my kitchen items. For the items that I had to buy, I was always very conscious of lifespan, packaging, recyclability and reusability, as well as ingredients and chemicals.

I've notice how much time I spent researching every thing that I want to buy and decided that I want to do something good with that. So I started Eco Stuff to share the very best products that I use myself.

My goal now is to spread the message and make people's life easier and safe by providing high quality reusables and natural ingredient products with minimal packaging.

All the products here have been carefully curated with love and consideration for the environment and have been used either by me and my family or our friends.

I hope you enjoy your eco journey and please contact me through the contact page. I would love to hear your thoughts and suggestions.

Love,

Raquel
