Can you tell it’s almost earth day? The deals are getting better & better…

I’m not one to encourage over-consumption, but if you need to replace your old sandals, why not consider some vegan sandals by Cri de Couer, or snag some super-useful BAGGU bags for yourself, or for friends & family gift-giving? For a limited time, Endless.com is offering $25 off your order of $125 or more qualifying earth-friendly shoes and accessories from brands like Simple, Groundhog, Camper, soleRebels, Ocean Minded, U Roads, El Naturalista, Jambu, Cri de Coeur, Olsen Haus, Ipath, Terrasoles, BAGGU, Envirosax, Matt & Nat, and ECO Sunglasses.

I’ve raved often enough about my BAGGU bag (can’t live without it) and seriously, how cute are those sandals? they give any mainstream brand a run for their money, AND they’re vegan, AND they’re carbon neutral. ’nuff said.

Stylish Vegan Clogs (really. and not crocs)

by grechen on April 5, 2010 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

I love clogs. If you follow my other site, Grechen’s Closet, at all, you know this already. And I’m ecstatic that they’re back “in” style now because of all the options out there. Unfortunately, you cannot imagine how hard it was to find vegan clogs online that I’d actually wear. Or maybe you can. Sure, there are lots of vegan clog options out there, including the dreaded CROC, but I wouldn’t be caught dead or alive wearing any of them. I almost had to give up, but I did manage to find a few pairs of vegan “clogs” that are somewhat stylish (if only Swedish Hasbeens made a non-leather version of any of their clogs).

And just to clarify, my definition of a clog is a shoe with a wood sole & heel (NOT A WEDGE) and preferably with some sort of nails or staples fastening the upper to the sole. What exactly IS a clog is a definitely point of contention around the blogosphere lately, now that clogs are “in” – but I’m sticking to my guns on this one…

So…here goes! Let me know if you find any more stylish vegan clogs out there…



Ethical Wares

These vegan t-strap clog sandals are available at UK site Ethical Wares for approximately $92. They also have a couple of other pairs of decent-looking vegan clog sandals, although I do wish the heels were a bit higher on all of them. It would balance out the heavier styles in my opinion.

Lulu’s

These could also be called a platform sandal, but according to my definition, they’re a clog. $31 at Lulu’s:

Alternative Outfitters

I’m sorry, but I actually think the heel on these is very ugly – but aside from that, the shoe isn’t bad…$29 at Alternative Outfitters:

Etsy

Etsy turned out to be a good option for vegan clogs – all “vintage” or used at least…I found two pairs, one was sold out already, but this pair isn’t bad:

Sanita

I do still love a “classic” clog, either with a back or without, and Sanita makes a nice vegan option – but while I think this shoe is pretty to look at (the pattern, anyway), it’s hard to wear. Sanita does make a floral patterned high-heel sandal, but it’s lined with leather, so not appropriate here.

Stella McCartney

And I had to save the best, most stylish vegan clog/sandal for last – Stella McCartney:

What do you think? would you wear any of these? Have you found any other vegan clog options? do tell!!!

TOMS vs. Bensimon

by grechen on March 23, 2010 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

Okay…so I love my blue sparkly TOMS flats, but I’ve also been taken in by the awesome styles & colors of Bensimon’s canvas flats. They’re both vegan, although I’m not sure anything can compare to TOMS mission to donate one pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair sold…

Which do you prefer (they’re both around $55)?

TOMS:

VEGAN Habitante TOMS

Or

Bensimon:

Elastique Sneaker Blue Canvas

What do you think? Do you have a pair of TOMS? Or Bensimon flats? Do tell!!

Must Have: Handmade Hemp Canvas Flats

by grechen on January 19, 2010 | SUBSCRIBE | TWITTER | FACEBOOK |

I normally try very hard not to post something I’ve seen somewhere else on the same day, but these are just too cute NOT to post, and I’m afraid if I don’t post them now, I’ll forget to post them…

smartfish handmade hemp canvas flats

Liz Grotyohann (from Cosa Verde) posted about these fabulous sustainable hemp canvas shoes in her weekly eco-friendly finds column for Modish and I was instantly smitten. I’ve been researching hemp lately and working on creating a super-comprehensive list of hemp resources online because I believe that hemp is the key to sustainability in fashion as well as building (more later…). So, I’m pleased to see that etsy company SmartFish handmakes these lovely shoes from hemp canvas with an organic bamboo lining and salvaged cork and natural latex outsoles (you can handwash these even!!). I need a pair or two of these….
