🌵Sustainability is deeply connected to all things local. Supporting local artists and makers builds connection, community, and economic resilience. Supporting local makers, artists, and businesses is the antidote to chain stores that send much of their revenue out of our community! Support local when you can.
🌱 I’m happy to share this month’s featured local artist (one of 15 in our shop!):
Allyson Coraggio is an outdoors-loving, adventure-seeking maker who calls Durango home. She spends her time hiking, biking, camping, paddleboarding, and traveling whenever possible.
🚵♂️ Making earrings is her creative outlet—a way to slow down, get hands-on, and give new life to materials that might otherwise be thrown away.
🚲 These unique earrings shown hear are crafted from upcycled bike tires sourced from a local Durango bike shop. They’re lightweight, durable, and waterproof—perfect for everyday wear and outdoor adventures alike. Each pair gives new life to materials that would otherwise go to waste, making them both sustainable and stylish.
