Our Mountain View office gets "personal" during the first-ever Personalize Your Workspace competition

In between creating new apps, updating our features and making sure we do all we can to help our merchants succeed, we find some time to have a little fun! This time, we've been hit by Decorating Fever, going head-to-head in our first-ever Personalize Your Workspace competition.

Entries came out of the woodwork within the last 24 hours of the competition, producing some interesting and impressive results. Here are some of the highlights:

Our winner was a creative concept by software engineer Patrick Thill (seen below).
Move over, Batcave. We bring you the Code Cave, a perfect workspace for the easily distracted. Best of all, it's completely transportable and can be used by anyone in the office. So awesome!

Lexity Celebrates Earth Day: We've been inspired by our twelve participating stores!

A huge thank you to all of our awesome eco-friendly stores for participating in Lexity Celebrates Earth Day! From Malaysia to the United States to the UK, our merchants are truly doing their part to green the planet and inspiring others to do the same.

Here's a quick recap of our twelve participating stores: 

• EarthLED knows the definition of green! From their solar-powered facilities to carbon neutral shipping programs to their hundreds of eco-friendly LED lighting products, they're truly lighting the way to a more sustainable planet.
• Caveman Evolution shares their tips on how to take simple steps toward a greener business, showing us that even a little good goes a long way.
• Bohemian Guitars rocks out with their unique up-cycled guitars, turning old parts (oil cans, lunch boxes, you name it!) into brand new instruments.
• Encircled not only dedicates themselves to eco-friendly fashion but also runs a blog to encourage sustainability in all aspects of life.
• Johnsons Way has supported the green movement since the '60s. Greening your home has never been easier with their catalog of recycled home and garden products.
• Innovez inspires a sustainable lifestyle through the sleek designs of their mobile accessories, recently launching a brand new line of eco-friendly iPhone cases.
• The Essential Oil Company works from the source up, organically processing their oil. They even sell distillation equipment and distilling supplies for making your own essential oils.
• Bliv will impress you with how they use bamboo in everything from clothes to home goods to gifts. Bamboo is a great alternative because it grows quickly, produces 30% more oxygen compared to other trees, absorbs more carbon dioxide and grows without pesticides and fertilizers.
• RockNSocks covers you from head to foot (literally!) with their eco-friendly fiber. They also actively choose to partner with companies who share their passion for sustainability.
• Ellovi creates an all-natural, vegan beauty product called Butter that combines macadamia nut, coconut, marula nut, hemp seeds, and shea into oils—all without using water and preservatives.
• Candy Says reminds us that fashion can be recycled, too! Buying vintage reduces the amount of clothing waste. Any items they don't sell are either passed on to upcycling companies, sold in bulk or cut up for sewing clubs.
• Lux Tenebrae runs a green leather lingerie studio that is fuelled by green renewable power. They also recycle their leather scraps to a local childrens charity.

Thanks again for participating! We're honored to be working with you.

At Lux Tenebrae, we're an online only small business specialising in designing and making elegant bespoke leather lingerie, all handmade from our Bristol studio in the UK.

Our green credentials are fabulous! The entire studio is fuelled by green renewable power from Ecotricity and we recycle all of our leather scraps into a local childrens charity, The Scrapstore, where it gets reused creatively by local groups.

And we're passionate about slow fashion. We at Lux use a different system that makes money while respecting the rights of workers and the environment, and produces beautiful and conscientious garments, that are built with love to last a lifetime.

We're Lux Tenebrae, and we're trying to change the world step by step.

Candy Says Vintage Clothing has been selling vintage clothing and accessories for men, women and children since 2003. Our stock dates from the 1920s to the 1990s and we have over 1,500 online in our Shopify store.

We love selling vintage clothing and are proud of the fact that we are recycling and re-using items which may otherwise have been discarded. The clothing gets a new lease of life and can be shown off again, and the buyer gets something unique and special.

We hand-pick every item we buy and it is great to hear some of the stories from previous owners, who are delighted to hear that someone else would want to wear their items. Any items which we cannot use on the site are either passed on to upcycling companies, sold in bulk or cut up for sewing clubs, so there is no wastage!

On our website we state that by buying vintage clothing you are not only doing your bit to help the earth by discouraging the production of more throw-away fashion, but you are also getting a much better quality, unique and individual product at a better price, so everyone is a winner!

Some of our stock has never been worn and comes from warehouses where it has been sitting since the 1950s. We are happy to be able to finally allow these garments to be worn and loved as intended.

We encourage our customers to re-use our packaging, and we send our items in recyclable biodegradable postal sacks.
