Trend Hunter's Jana Pijak counts down her top picks for eco-conscious luxury, from guest-ranking eco hotels to recycled 50s attire. In addition to offering their guests a luxe and relaxing stay, a well-established hotel chain in Singapore lets its guests know how much energy they consume during their stay in an innovative energy-efficient initiative. Or if luxe accessories are more your style than jet-setting, cork handbags created by Silvia Massacesi offer a fashionable spin on sustainable design. Meanwhile Jolene Fung throws back to another era with her feminine line made out of upcycled plastic packaging pieces. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.1/10 - Popularity: 79% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Eco-friendly Hospitality:** Opportunity for luxury hotels to implement innovative energy-efficient initiatives and provide guests with information about their energy consumption. - **Sustainable Fashion Accessories:** Potential for designers to create fashionable accessories using eco-friendly materials like cork, offering a stylish alternative to traditional options. - **Upcycled Plastic Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for fashion labels to repurpose plastic packaging waste into feminine and eco-friendly clothing collections. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Luxury Hospitality:** Luxury hotels can embrace eco-conscious initiatives to appeal to environmentally-aware guests and differentiate themselves in the market. - **Fashion Accessories:** Opportunity for accessory designers to cater to the growing demand for sustainable fashion by using eco-friendly materials like cork. - **Sustainable Fashion:** Fashion labels can explore upcycling techniques to create unique and environmentally-friendly clothing collections. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Slow Fashion Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kzk-studio.md) - [Sustainable High-End Swimwear Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aventura-swimwear.md) - [Ethical Luxury Shopping Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ethical-luxury-shopping-platform.md) - [Eco-Friendly Indian Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latin-quarters.md) - [Sustainable Hospitality Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/casa-neos.md) - [Chic Sustainable Cleaning Brands](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guests-on-earth.md) - [Disposable Jute Hotel Slippers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/six-senses-jute-slippers.md) - [Sustainable Bathroom Design Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sustainable-bathroom-design.md) - [Eco-Friendly Timepiece Stores](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heinemann-oceania.md)
