Haute Sustainable Shoes - Recycled Plastic 'Three Strap' Sandals by Vivienne Westwood and Melissa (GALLERY)
Recycled Plastic 'Three Strap' Sandals by Vivienne Westwood and Melissa

These sleek spring sandals are made of recycled plastic, and they’re an eco-friendly collaboration between Vivienne Westwood and Melissa. Unlike the PVC jelly shoes we rocked growing up, these Melissa Three Strap Sandals are sustainably and ethically produced in Brazil of recycled MEFLEX and are 100% recyclable.

MEFLEX is a non-toxic plastic that Inhabitat reports is far more breathable than PVC. The Melissa shoe factory is itself a paragon of eco-friendly virtue when it comes to production, as you’ll read below.

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”.

i heart shoes
i recently purchased a pair of vivienne westwood dragon lady heels from her collaboration with melissa. I must say the are my favorite shoes by far. they are comfortable, don’t make my feet sweat like most plastic shoes and they’re sute to boot. The sizes run a little big, i’m a 7.5 but had to buy a 6! But if you want a pair of your own, you might want to hurry. Nordstroms is already sold out in the most common sizes (i got the last pair in my size in pearl with a red heart) they’re a greats start up shoe for fashionistas low on cash, at only $150, for vivienne westwood, they’re a steal! <3 stay classy
