In correlation with Yann Arthus Bertrand's film about the state of the environment, Italian shoe designer Sergio Rossi is releasing a pair of eco high heels.
The Rossi shoes are made of recycled leather, use vegetable dyes for color, and eco-friendly packaging.
More than that, both the packaging and the shoe are entirely biodegradable. The Sergio Rossi shoes will be available in select stores starting June 5th.
