Long time user and lover of the Green Collective products. Not only do the products last and last and last but they are stylie too!

I get excited every time I get a new product from The Green Collective. Love the Spruce, Hanks and Encore bags. Thank goodness they have so many cool designs and colours to make gifting easier. Always arrive quickly in the post with a personal note. Such a nice touch.

I have so many of these products and I enjoy them
so much, ive also met Emma at many eco markets and she’s extremely passionate about what she does and she does it so well!

The Green Collective has become my go-to for sustainable swaps that actually work. As a trusted, reliable business, they make eco-friendly living feel effortless and high-quality.

I’m particularly obsessed with their handkerchiefs—they are incredibly soft, and the gorgeous prints make them a pleasure to use. Along with their durable Spruce cloths, these products have replaced so many disposables in my home. It’s wonderful to support a brand that delivers on its promises with such style and integrity!

Not only are the product high quality, functional, and beautiful, it’s the love and care of the business that stand out also. Curated designs made by artists from Aotearoa and around the world. Transparency around the sourcing and sustainability of the products. Something can be beautiful, thoughtful, and functional, and also sustainable.

It feels crazy to get this excited about cleaning tools but my tea towel and spruce drawer gives me a little dopamine every time I open it. The spruce cloths and linen teatowels last and last and last and designs like these prove you can live eco and with style!

Incredible products, business model and ethos

Stylish and sustainable, a winning combination!

The Green Collective Spruce cloths are the best! Fabulous designs and last so well. The gift card cloths are a great idea as an easy thoughtful gift instead of a card.

Made with love and care, the Encore bags are truly the best, and based on the other great reviews i’m going to try the other products too!

THE BEST BUSINESS – THE BEAT OWNER.

Great selection of sustainable products!

I truly love all Green Collective products and have quite the collection of Encore bags, Hanks and Spruce cloths… also my lucky friends and family can count on annual birthday restocks. Thank you Emma, for your vision and creativity 💚

The leopard print SPRUCE has a special place in my heart. Emma is a bundle of energy and enthusiasm and it makes me want to do better for our environment!

I’ve been a staunch self-appointed ambassador for Emma’s bags ever since discovering them some five years ago. We have an entire collection in all shapes and sizes and have been giving them to all our friends and won’t shut up about how great they are every time they get noticed in the shop or at the beach (which happens a lot). The designs are ace, the quality is 100% bombproof – just the most versatile and durable and lovable gear. Oh, and did i mention 100% sustainable?
I’ve never had any issues with any of them, but i’m sure Emma would personally make sure it would get resolved immediately.
Easily earned ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all around!

Amazing environmental conscious work!

Absolutely hands down the best bags around! I love that the Encore bags are made from reused seat belts and signage billboards! I have had some of my bags for over 10 years and they still look new! Indestructible quality!

Great products and a great human behind them.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

As someone working in a commercial kitchen, I need tools that hold up, and the SPRUCE dishcloths are absolute workhorses. Everything Emma makes is durable, brightly designed, and genuinely eco-friendly. It’s inspiring to see her journey from the Saturday markets to building such a great brand. Fantastic to see a business that makes sustainable living so easy. Highly recommended!

Epic products

I was a judge for local business awards a few years ago and Emma, her vision, business model and products together made The Green Collective a stand out. Her sustainability and community values define her every move. Impressive business and business woman (and I love her products too!). She is a five star operator!

I love love love these SPRUCE dishcloths! I’ve tried so many different brands and types, and this is by far the BEST! They don’t smell, they wipe surfaces really well, and they’re super easy to clean (I just throw mine in with the laundry).

The only “issue” I have is that they last too long! Eventually, I start using different designs for different purposes around the house.

I have bought hankies from three other companies/brands but I tell you right now, I’ll never go back to anything else. These will never give you a red nose and make you look like the Red Nose the Reindeer, nor feel soggy after use. And they are all bright and colorful which you can pick from a wide selection. They are also 100% organic cotton which is better for the environment, EVEN my partner has stolen one of my hankies. This isn’t a paid ad, just a very happy customer, BUY THESE HANKIES 20/10!!!

Love Green Collective’s stuff! Especially the Spruce and Encore bags. The Spruce’s last forever and look so cool in the kitchen and we use our Encore bags almost every single weekend or family outing, so handy!
