ECOkit Minsk
Soulful zero-waste shop
Are you trying to stick to an eco-friendly lifestyle as I do? Or are you on your way to doing it? Anyway, come check this place to learn that being eco-friendlier is nice and easy!
This is a cozy art studio in an atmospheric ex-factory where you can learn more about how to save our planet and buy things that will help you become more eco-friendly.
Also, you can always enjoy the atmosphere of the place and the smell of nature, cause a lot of products here are made of natural materials.
One more important thing that makes this place really special is its owner. You can meet her in the show - she is working there by herself. Most of the products of the ECOkit brand are made by Mira - she is a true artist. Since she knows the process from beginning to end, she can explain every step and answer any question, or just have a pleasant conversation with you.
ECOlit is a wonderful place to buy souvenirs for friends and family, cause it's unique, handmade and absolutely safe from an ecological perspective.
