The eco guide to population growth

Every hour 10,000 people are born. Fortunately a new crop of eco innovations will help tackle the pressures on our planet

I was excited when I heard that luxe ethical accessories brand Bottletop was opening a flagship store on London’s Regent Street – not because I’m sentimental about bricks-and-mortar shopping in these days of e-tailing (well, maybe a bit), but because I knew that Bottletop, which made its name turning aluminum ring-pulls into beautiful accessories, wouldn’t disappoint. The space, with its 3,000 hanging cans, is a showstopper. The shelves are wrapped in certified zero-deforestation leather from Brazil and the alcoves are clad in repurposed sheet aluminium. Go there if you’re at all interested in sustainable design and/or Brazil, where the Bottletop atelier is based. Along with its range of bags (they start at £95, and the bestseller is Misty, at £165), I’m in love with Timothy Han’s new scent, which features fairly traded Brazilian cedarwood.
Visit Bottletop at 84 Regent Street, London W1B 5AJ (07519 406492).
