Between work, school and sidehustles, it’s extremely easy to indulge yourself so far into the stress of the daily world that you forget to take a moment to appreciate the beautiful life that you truly have. The Created Co.’s quality designs acknowledge that sometimes life’s most meaningful moments happen around a cup of coffee. Not only do their designs awaken the adventurer in you, each purchase helps give clean water to those in need through The Created Co.’s partner, charity: water.

3 BOHO UPCYCLE bohoupcycle.com > Krissy Arora’s knack for vintage design will cause your heart to skip a beat when you lay your eyes on one of her custom creations. Krissy takes recycled furniture pieces and reinvents them by upcycling them and giving them a bohemian feel. Krissy draws design inspiration from the aesthetic of her parent’s cultures of India and Guatemala. Annie Sloan’s decorative Chalk Paint is used by Krissy to paint her creations and is also available to purchase at the Boho Upcycle store located in Los Angeles. 4 SAGEBRUSH BOARD BAGS sagebrushbags.com > Sagebrush Board Bags are handcrafted right here in Southern California by Anna Ehrgott and made to handle all of life’s adventures. Anna uses coffee bean sacks from an organic, fair trade coffee roaster to ensure that the brand remains entirely environmentally conscious. The concept of Sagebrush Board Bags was created from necessity as Anna personally uses them to prevent damages to her board during even the most spontaneous of surf trips.
