The fashion imprint is rooted in sustainable practices and it has a heritage in gardening and other outdoor activities. Crocs is known for its [signature clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-x-jean-paul-gaultier), which are a quintessential silhouette when it comes to gardening. Together, the two form a seamless collaboration. The brands worked to redesign the Crocs [foam clogs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crocs-classic-clog-velvet-pack) which are transformed into leather shoes that are eco-friendly and bio-circular. The faux-leather build comes in an espresso brown colorway which continues to the gardening theme. It is accented with adorable small floral emblems applied through intricate embroidery throughout the upper. It is photographed in a garden as well.
