“Sustainability needs to be accessible and attractive.” – Sarah\u00a0Sproviero, Founder of Lightfoot Market<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The time where the champagne and pumpkin spice lattes are overflowing, the sweater-wearing weather is finally here to stay and children begin to pray for snow on Christmas day. It is also the time when we frantically search for just the right gifts to give to our loved ones. I’ve created 5 Conscious & Chic Holiday Gift Guides<\/a>\u00a0because holiday shopping is a challenge no matter where you are in the world!<\/p>\n

However, if you are in New York City, you are in luck!\u00a0Lightfoot Market Holiday Pop Up<\/a> shop is back just in time for the mayhem. On December 9 and 10th, you will have the opportunity to shop the season’s most beautifully crafted and ethically approved products. In fact, Lightfoot Market brings 70 vendors together in the very conveniently located Metropolitan Suite in Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Lightfoot Market was created by girl boss Sarah Sproviero who recently completed her masters in sustainability management. The idea came to her after a conversation with a friend only a year and a half ago. She saw a\u00a0gap between sustainable shoppers and business owners and decided to do something about it.<\/p>\n

Sarah and I\u00a0 have so much in common including our desire to meet people where they are in their sustainability journey without judgement! We also believe that shopping ethically shouldn’t be a sacrifice.<\/p>\n

What to expect at Lightfoot Market?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A wide variety of sustainable brands, making it easier for you to find ethically-made products from recycled-metal jewelry to handmade surfboards constructed from sustainably harvested wood. Lightfoot Market also features food, beverages, clothing, accessories, bath and body products, jewelry, home wares, outdoor goods, technology and gifts for children and pets. Seriously, there\u2019s something for everyone!<\/p>\n

There is no market quite like it in the city because every vendor must meet Lightfoot’s four gold standards and be conflict-free, cruelty-free, non-toxic, and sweatshop-free. These exhibitors show the highest levels of commitment to our earth and humankind.<\/p>\n

Transparency<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lightfoot Market makes it easy for you to know what you are supporting by being as transparent as possible.\u00a0They know that \u201csustainability\u201d is a loaded word and can mean different things to different people. While some shoppers may care about supporting a low-carbon supply chain, others might value supporting underprivileged communities across the world. Both being important and valid, Lightfoot makes acting on those values seamless by\u00a0providing clear signage (vegan, local, fair trade, organic, etc) at their markets. Customers can shop confidently knowing exactly what they\u2019re supporting.<\/p>\n
