Beyond Skin is a footwear company with a long tradition of making eco-friendly shoes, but their latest faux suede line of shoes is special in that all of its products are made entirely from a 100% recycled material called Dinamica.
This material is ideally suited for eco fashion because it requires no animals to be killed, has no solvents or poisonous additives and can also be easily and completely recycled at the end of its life. Furthermore, the Beyond Skin shoes made from this faux suede material look and feel just like ones made from real suede, except they are also water-resistant and surprisingly durable.
