Americana themes now come alongside eco-friendly production
Trend - Brands that rely heavily on Americana themes and inspirations are now prioritizing eco-friendly production and/or promotion in their products. These include everything from shoe purchases that result in tree-planting, to collections made from recycled fabrics.

For the average consumer, this is particularly true for everyday items like reusable containers and clothing, as these are more cost-accessible than more macro eco-friendly investments.
