Ethically Made Shoes

“Indifference and neglect often do much more damage than outright dislike.” - J.K Rowling




     I'm so excited to expand from posting just food on here to lifestyle posts (mainly ethical fashion).

    Shoes are a favourite of mine I used to love buying designer shoes, I would display them and never wear them, although most of them were made in France or Italy where I am sure the workers were treated well, they were all made out of some kind of animal. I struggled with this and being a "good" vegan for a very long time. I will never buy another pair of animal shoes but I can not part with my beloved collection yet. I also don't want to have to buy cheap shoes that are fake leather since I'm sure they probably aren't good for the environment.. do you see my predicament. so Instead I set out to search for the worlds best shoes and I am very surprised at the amount of shoe companies I found that are not only fashionable, but vegan, environmentally friendly and ethical made (some even made  in Italy).  

From left to right top

Mink Shoes  - Guys!!! these are made in the same factories as Chanel, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo and Dolce and Gabana, they are going to be good quality. The difference? they are animal free, environmentally friendly and a fraction of the price. 

Bhava Shoes - This website has every style of shoe you could want. They outline the 4 fashion victims they don't want a part of :  #1 animals, #2 our planet, #3 the workers, and #4 you. I can't wait to buy a pair of boots from them next winter

Matt & Nat - I've been obsessed with their purse collection for a while, this Canadian company uses recycled plastic bottles in their lining and just recently added shoes to their collection. It's not the biggest shoe collection yet, but I've already decided to purchase their Berri shoes this summer. 

Love is Mighty - The bohemian in me wants every single shoe in this collection. These ones are made in India by local artisans trying to preserve their craft. These shoes are 100% handmade and vegan. 

I do believe the world is starting to become a better place with all these brands caring about people, animals and our planet my heart is truly at ease.  💓💕💓💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
