It’s taken me about 2 months to find this bamboo business card holder from Canoe in Portland.

I thought it would be a piece or cake to find an ecofriendly business card case. Not so. I looked for:

• recycled business card case
• sustainable business card case
• ecofriendly business card case
• free range business card case
• green business card case
• fair trade business card case

I also searched for all of the above, but replaced “case” with “holder.” There was nothing impressive out there. Though I did find a Tilapia leather business card holder that was a bit too feminine for my taste. I was unable to relocate the site at the time of posting.

I’m not sure what I finally searched for to find the Canoe site, but this bamboo business card case came up. The site said out of stock. Out of desperation I emailed the shop. After a pleasant phone call with the owner, I have 2 bamboo business card cases in the mail.

Canoe doesn’t tout itself as a green store store per se, but they carry quite of few ecofriendly products and sell items from local artists. Sounds pretty green to me. Thanks Canoe of Portland.
