One of the sheer joys of warmer weather is releasing those pasty, day-glo feet from their argyle prisons and slipping them into something a little more comfortable. And of all the members of the spring shoe family, everyone knows that candy-colored jellies are the way to go if you’re looking to put some fun on your feet. Sadly, these slippery favorites have long been off-limits for eco-conscious fashionistas due to the fact that they are typically made out of PVC, or polyvinyl chloride, a petroleum-based plastic that can be toxic. But rejoice! Non-toxic plastic pioneer shoe brand Melissa ^[5] and anglo-fashion maven Vivienne Westwood ^[6] have teamed up to dream up a whole line of succulent sustainable slippers ^[7] for your shoe-loving pleasure.

The new collaboration between Vivienne Westwood and Melissa features rocking styles that are so reminiscent of Ms. Westwood ^[6]‘s signature looks that you almost forget they are made entirely of recyclable plastic! Besides being made from recycled MEFLEX ^[8], a revolutionary breathable and non-toxic plastic, these brand new Melissa Three Strap Sandals ^[7] are 100% recyclable. What’s more, the shoes are totally cruelty free and devoid of animal products. A startling 99.9% of Melissa’s factory water and waste is recycled  and the Brazil-based company’s employees are paid above average wages and benefits meaning that you can feel good about buying these beautiful “soles”.
