Elegant Eco Leather Sandals

Christy Dawn's Footwear is Focused on Sustainability and Style

— May 10, 2019 — Eco
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."
Trend Themes
1. Eco-friendly Footwear - There is a growing demand for shoes made of sustainable materials that are both stylish and comfortable, creating opportunities for sustainable footwear brands to disrupt the traditional shoe industry.
2. Deadstock Fabric Utilization - Repurposing deadstock fabrics is a trend that provides an innovative and eco-friendly solution for reducing textile waste, creating opportunities for brands to create unique and sustainable fashion pieces.
3. Fair Wages Movement - Consumers are increasingly concerned with fair labor practices and worker wages, creating a trend that can disrupt traditional manufacturing models by incentivizing fair labor practices and promoting transparency.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Sustainable fashion brands are disrupting the traditional fashion industry by finding innovative and eco-friendly ways to create stylish and comfortable apparel and accessories.
2. Manufacturing - The use of deadstock fabric before landing in landfills provides opportunities for manufacturers to reduce waste and increase sustainability in the fashion industry, while maintaining profitability.
3. Retail - Consumers are increasingly demanding sustainable and ethically-made products, creating a trend that can disrupt the traditional retail industry by promoting ethical and sustainable manufacturing practices.
