ATTENTION ECO-FASHIONISTAS!

Now that spring has officially sprung, your feet want to be free! Happily, Brazilian shoe brand Melissa allows vegan and eco-conscious fashionistas to free their feet while keeping a small environmental footprint. We love Melissa’s spring collection of fun jellies, flats and sandals so much that we have decided to hold a big sale – FOR ONE WEEK ONLY – on all Melissa spring sandals and jellies.

We are big fans of designer Ashley Watson‘s recycled leather bags, and even though we have featured her designs before, we wanted to provide some exclusive coverage on her hip and luscious Spring 2008 collection, ‘Murre + Plover’. Despite the name, these accessories are ‘not just for the birds’, as their original, one-of-a-kind craftsmanship totally sets them apart in their multi-seasonal wearability and trend-defying style. Vancouver-based designer Watson handcrafts her one-of-a-kind products from soft, pre-worn leather jackets that she rescues from charity thrifts stores.

We generally associate plastic shoes with blister-generating sandals or galoshes that take eons to decompose in landfill, but when it comes to (recycled) plastic shoes of the sustainable ilk, Melissa Shoes takes a quantum leap forward in eco-fashion footwear. Our good friends at Kaight NYC turned us on to these babies, and we wanted to share this green style tip with you ASAP so that you can scoop up a pair of these very sexy sustainable vegan shoes, and join the Brazilian-design trend. Brazilian shoemaker Melissa has just put out these super sexy recycled-plastic kitten heels for spring, and we can’t wait to get our hands on a pair of them!
