For today's Earth Day 2024 festivities, we've already set you up with some suggestions for designers and brands that place special emphasis on how they can improve their impact on the environment. Ultimately though, it's longevity that makes an item sustainable; the investment in pieces that stand the test of time – pun definitely intended – rather than in things that are quickly discarded of.

Cartier's Tank Louis design is over a century old but looks as good as ever. An elegant, 18-karat gold timepiece with a green dial and strap, as much in sync with the color we most associate with nature as it is with tasteful, long term luxury.
