Make Earth Day Every Day: Shop Small & Local!

Happy Earth Day, friends!

Every day is #EarthDay here at Asbury Park Bazaar. We are so grateful to be able to work with nurturing, soulful, earth-conscious, community-centered people and businesses. Today, we'd like to highlight a few eco-friendly vendors that you'll be able to find at Makers + Shakers, our new retail pop up experience, opening May 27th at Pier Village! Vendors, you can still apply to sell here.

Buying local from independent businesses can make a positive environmental impact alongside the economic and social benefits. That's because smaller businesses typically have a smaller carbon footprint, as well as eco-friendly packaging and processes. Plus, the money you contribute to a small business goes right back into your community, further enriching its growth and the economy. Explore some of these incredible shops below and we can't wait to see you at Makers + Shakers!

Lillian Lopez Label

Lillian Lopez Label is all about the belief that there has to be a better way of getting the clothing we love but without causing such harm to the environment. They stand for handmade products, made from sustainable materials, that are built to last. Let's slow down the harmful fast-fashion cycle and get back to what it's all about: feeling your best in a piece you love that will last for years to come.
