Junky Styling and 'Good to Go' for travellers

Junky Styling have created a sustainable wash bag to celebrate the new, limited edition 'Good To Go' Organic Homme travel kit by Green People.

The joint project is a natural offspring by two fashionable companies with a shared stance on sustainability. The results are an understated, stylish addition to a man's green lifestyle, and high performance travel-sized organic skincare essentials.

Self taught designers Annika Sanders and Kerry Seager founded Junky Styling in 1997. Inspired by the prevalence of recycling in San Francisco and Tokyo, and the resourceful people of Vietnam and Thailand, they set up the innovative design-led label using textiles sourced from the best quality second hand clothing.

The materials get deconstructed, re-cut and completely transformed into new products. Garments are made in house or carefully outsourced locally, and the focus on individuality ensures that no two are the same, even if cut from the same pattern. So, a man’s suit jacket radically can transform into a women’s halter dress or a nest of carrion crows!

The entrepreneurial spirit of '97 influenced Charlotte Vøhtz aswell, as she adds;

‘I met the founders of Junky Styling about four years ago, and loved both the people and the products they are making.

So, I wanted to be involved with them on a long term basis - the collaboration between Green People and Junky Styling is good for both of us, as we have a similar outlook, and enjoy making products that people love and need.’

‘We love Green People too!’ say Junky Styling;

‘It is always a pleasure to work with Charlotte, as her energy is infectious and always positive. She has great input and we LOVE the products. We promote Green People with our logo on bags because they go so well together - while making sure not to be ‘greener than thou!’

Output in small, exclusive batches of only 20, the first set of wash bags are lined with a gorgeous ikat (a water resistant fabric remnant in the sombre, livery colours you'd expect from the Organic Homme brand). They also hold enough products to satisfy a gentleman's grooming, whether carrying larger or airline approved 50ml travel size products.

You can collect this limited edition 'Junky Styling Organic Homme Wash bag' and ‘Good To Go’ Organic Homme travel pack for just £35 when purchased together. They will launch at the Junky Styling shop, on 16th June, and the duo go on sale thoughout the friendly preview evening, where we'll be throwing in a fantastic SPF15 Moisturiser with natural organic actives (worth £16.30, but free for every Good to Go and washbag customer) and a glass of complimentary Pimms!

'Good to Go' contains four hero products from the wider range, with pure, natural actives that work for all skin types (including sensitive and those prone to acne, eczema or psoriasis).

'Scrub it' exfoliator - Smooth your features with help from Bamboo Extract and Cranberry Powder to remove dead skin cells. Natural Clay draws out toxins and any skin impurities – all without stripping the skin’s natural oils. Fairly traded Shea Butter soothes the facial skin.

'Shave now' wash & shave - For the ultimate close shave try this 2-in-1 active face wash and shaving gel. It lifts the hair shaft to help prevent ‘razor burn’ and reduces nicks and cuts! Aloe Vera and Seaweed both condition to keep the skin, leaving a smooth and supple feeling!

'Cool style' shower wash - Energising and refreshing, this shower wash is perfect for waking you up in the morning and for use after sports. Made without SLS/SLES, Parabens, Phthalates and Artificial Fragrances to bring you the purest shower gel that nature can offer.

'Itch away' shampoo - Blow away an itchy, flaky scalp with this organic and natural shampoo made with Tea Tree and Pineapple Extract, to prevent any skin irritation and guard against any drying of the scalp.

Charlotte says,

'The average man uses 7-8 grooming products a day which may contain hundreds of different synthetic chemicals that can often cause irritations, blemishes and dry, flaky skin. Organic Homme is created exclusively to meet the everyday grooming needs of men and combines powerful organic and natural actives chosen for their soothing and calming properties – it’s just like organic food for the skin!

Green People believe in the value of Junky Styling's work and will continue to act as their sponsor throughout 2011. In addition we are proud to have been able to supply the Mineral makeup for recent catwalk shows in London, Paris and Milan.

If you are looking up certified organic treats for Fathers Day or are seeking an exclusive contemporary gift, this combo is a perfect winner – luxurious, sustainable and great for the skin.
