Christy Dawn boasts a pair of eco leather sandals in two colorways — Chamomile and Canyon. The footwear is at the intersection of sustainable design, fashion-forward silhouettes, and comfort-focused construction.
The aesthetic of the 'Dawn Sandals' is kept minimalist and freeing. The appearance is absolutely timeless, allowing for the summer shoes to be incorporated within the composition of any everyday outfit. The colors boast an accessible character as well.
With regards to sustainability, the eco leather sandals are handsewn in Los Angeles and the fabrics that are used are deadstock, which means that they would be sent to landfills had they not been utilized for something else. In addition, Christy Dawn makes it a point of great interest to pay workers fair "living wages with benefits."
