WILD PATINA'S FAVORITES

What I Truly Love

I don't do sustainability perfectly. Nobody does. I practice it, one small choice at a time. This is where I share the films, brands, and simple shifts that shape how I live and how I build every collection I rent.

Take what inspires you. Leave what doesn't. Every little bit counts.

Documentaries

These are the films that changed how I think. Not about perfection. About paying attention. They're a big part of why I rent, reuse, and rethink.

Big Picture: Our Planet & Climate

Our Planet A stunning look at Earth’s ecosystems and why protecting them matters.

Before the Flood An easy, honest introduction to climate change and what's at stake.

David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet A deeply personal look at what we've lost, and a reason for hope.

Food, Farming & Sustainability

Kiss the Ground Hopeful and focused on solutions in regenerative farming.

The Biggest Little Farm A beautiful story of building a sustainable farm from scratch.

Seaspiracy A hard look at what fishing does to our oceans.

Consumption, Waste & Fast Living

The True Cost A must-watch on the hidden price of fast fashion.

Minimalism: A Documentary About the Important Things Questions the idea that more is better.

Buy Now! The Shopping Conspiracy An inside look at how we're sold to, and why we keep buying.

Lifestyle & Everyday Change

2040 An optimistic picture of what a sustainable future could look like.

No Impact Man One family's year-long experiment in low-impact living.

The Game Changers A look at plant-based living and performance.

Products I Use

These are the brands I come back to again and again. Not because they're perfect, but because they're trying. They shape how I source, how I restore, and how I treat sustainability as a practice instead of a trend.

Thoughtful Consumption

Everlane Everyday clothing that's open about how it's made.

Thrift stores and Estate Sales Secondhand is one of the most sustainable choices there is. It's also where so much of my collection began.

Goodwill Online

Salvation Army Online 

Estate Sales.net

Osea Malibu Simple, plant-based skin care rooted in the sea.

Composed Living A thoughtful shop of eco-friendly home goods with a mission of giving back. I donate gently used pieces here, and their donation list on their website is one of the clearest I've found.

Low Waste Home Products

Unni Compostable Compostable bags for food scraps and trash. A small swap that adds up.

Shadazzle My go-to for restoring vintage glass and silver. It brings tired finds back to life.

Dirty Labs My go-to for vintage linens. Gentle, effective, and tough enough for real life, including high school athletic uniforms.

Simple Shifts

Small shifts, made often, add up.

The Easiest Shift of All

Every time you rent instead of buy, one less thing gets made, used once, and thrown away. Start with your next table.
