Welcome to the Fresh Finds series, a weekly edit of Status Gaea founders, Toni Lessler Mills and Mandy Rivas’s favorite sustainable fashion and beauty products. From timeless wardrobe essentials to one-of-a-kind artisanal pieces, we will be highlighting our favorite finds of the moment.

We are fashion lovers at heart but no trend can ever replace that favorite pair of jeans that you turn to again and again. The Fall chill is officially settling in, so here are our top 5 finds this week that we will be turning to for years to come.

Ganni straight mid-rise organic-cotton jeans

$225

A straight leg jean in a true blue made from 100% organic cotton. What more can you need from a fall jean?

Apparis pink vegan cashmere sweater

$175

Their cruelty-free cashmere is in partnership with PETA. 5% of proceeds from their vegan knitwear collection is donated to the organization. Feel luxurious without the guilt!

Flattered Lia leather chunky sole boot

$249

A chunky sole mid-calf leather boot will be your go-to boot. These ethically made, chrome-free leather boots will go perfectly styled with knit dresses while the weather transitions, and will look equally as chic with tailored trousers tucked in once the weather dips lower.

Alighieri Paola and Francesca gold-plated chain & pendant necklace

$340

Made from recycled materials and gold plating, this link necklace will be that piece that ties everything together. Throw it on under your blazer or over your knit sweater for a little sustainable bling.

Bevza sweetheart neck ribbed maxi dress

A ribbed knit dress is always a pleaser. You can go from cozy at home to polished out and about in seconds. This locally made Ukrainian-based brand holds sustainability at its core using upcycled, recycled, and sustainable fabrics wherever possible.
