In fact, because these Pauline in Love snakeskin shoes are affordable and completely handmade, these faux-snakeskin kicks are a win-win for everyone involved, from consumer to craftsmen. On top of that, every shoe sold helps support Working World, which is a nonprofit organization that helps local craftspeople develop sustainable and profitable livelihoods, which is a cause definitely worth standing behind. With forward-thinking footwear lines like this, the days when getting your hands on fashionable apparel had to mean sacrificing your values, your savings and the environment are over.
