Meet “A Boy Named Sue” – Green and Stylish // 新綠色環保時尚網購推薦

Son, this world is rough. And if a man’s gonna make it, he’s gotta be tough. So I give ya that name and I said goodbye I knew you’d have to get tough or die.”  – A Boy Named Sue, Johnny Cash

“A Boy Named Sue” is a poem by Shel Silverstein, made popular by Johnny Cash song.

But I am not here to talk about the poem or the song; instead, I’m here to introduce you to the first multi-brand e-commerce boutique that blends eco and social ethics with a fashionable aesthetic.

“A Boy Named Sue” 從一首由Shel Silverstein創作的詩，到因為Johnny Cash改編而成名的歌曲。它對每個人的意義都不同，如果你在讀這篇博文之前完全不知道這個詩詞或歌曲。沒關係，因為我也不是來講這個的。

單看字面，你可能會覺得很奇怪，為甚麼一個男孩的名字會是SUE? 就是因為這樣，這個男孩更加堅強，因為他的名字是個女孩的名字。而我想介紹給大家的這個網購的背後含義就是，它們是與眾不同的，也是身負重任的。

“A Boy Named Sue” 是世界第一個集合各種綠色環保時尚品牌的購物網站。

So in short, this “BOY” is green and stylish!

A Boy Named Sue is created by Sam and Tania, who met through blogging in Hong Kong. With a vision to unify the concept of “doing good” with the simplicity of beautiful clothes, this shop provides access to a curated selection of international designers from Brooklyn to Berlin.

The website is tailored towards both green consumers and girls who simply love great fashion. Beyond the store front, A Boy Named Sue has a strong editorial aspect called Paperback, which aims to create a community, raise awareness of eco-fashion and tell stories of creative people around the world doing things differently.

所以簡單來說，這是一個環保和時尚的“男孩”。

這個網購是由香港的Sam和Tania開設的，她們開始的原因很簡單，就是想用她們喜歡的事情：時尚，做一些“好事”。

而在這個只代理並銷售用綠色材料，環保方式來設計生產時裝的網站上，你可以找到從德國柏林到美國紐約布魯克林各式各樣的新晉設計師品牌。如果你喜歡時尚，喜歡網購，而又注重環保。那A Boy Named Sue真的就是為你準備的了！

如果你擔心環保時裝的時尚度，那真的是多心了（其實我一開始也有這個顧慮 :p)。看下面我選取的一些網站代理的品牌，你就會發現，時尚和環保真的是可以同步進行的！

Founders of “A Boy Named Sue” – Sam & Tania

My number one concern when talking to Tania, one of the founders of the website, was the actual fashion element of the clothes they carry. I believe many people (like me!) would love to support green fashion, but we don’t want to sacrifice our “style”.

Well, after reviewing the brands and designers “A Boy Named Sue” represents, my worries have disappeared! These clothes are both eco-friendly AND fashionable. Maybe this is the true beginning of what we have been longing for…

As “A Boy Named Sue“ says: We hope that in the near future, environmentally and socially driven brands will become the standard, instead of an alternative.

Don’t we all share the same hope?! 🙂
