Coclico (which means poppy in French) makes wonderful eco-friendly shoes. The company is based in New York and has a store on Mott Street (and online). The shoes are made in Mallorca, Spain because founder Sandra Canselier believes the best balance of craftsmanship and human rights laws can be found there. The vegetable tanned leathers are sourced as close to the factory as possible and are dyed using tanning agents derived from bark, fruit, and seeds. I want!

Dessa fina klackar hittade jag på second hand (Beacon’s Closet) i helgen, för $24.95. Märket är Kathryn Amberleigh och de sitter som ett smäck! Tack du fina person med lika stora fötter som jag som tröttnade på dessa. Jag kommer ge dem ett bra hem.

I found these pretty heels at Beacon’s Closet this weekend, for $24.95. The brand is Kathryn Amberleigh and they fit like a glove! Thank you pretty person with feet as big as mine who grew tired of these. I will make them proud of their new home.

Where är ett etiskt fair-trade modehus med bas i Storbrittanien. Denna sommar är delar av deras kollektion inspirerad av vintage-skor, särskilt tuffa farfarsskor i vackra vintageskinn. Dessa är gjorda av skickliga hantverkare, en tidskrävande process där skinnet först handknyts och sedan handfärgas efter det att själva skon är färdig. Bara naturliga, eko-vänliga material och metoder används. Ska finnas att köpa snart från Where’s web-shop samt Urban Outfitters, Pixie Market (NY) och Hoxton Boutique (London). Priset kommer ligga runt £115

Where is an ethical fair-trade fashion company based in the U.K. This summer part of the range is inspired by vintage shoes, especially “grandad brogues” with beautiful vintage leathers. These are made by skilled artisans, a laborious process where the leather is first hand-knotted and then hand-dyed after the shoe is made. Only natural, eco-friendly materials and methods are used. Will be available soon from Where’s web-shop samt Urban Outfitters, Pixie Market (NY) och Hoxton Boutique (London). The price will be around £115.

When you buy a pair, TOMS will donate a pair to a child in the developing world (many companies have started practicing this model, commonly called BOGO – Buy One Give One). Shopping with a conscience! And they’re super cute as well. Now when summer finally seems to be on its way I’m going to buy a pair. The gold and silver ones are so cute, like the patterned ones too, but if I know myself I’ll probably end up with a pair of black ones. Although I really like the burlap ones too, hmmm… Thoughts?

A bit of inspiration from the master of high heels and red soles’ studio space in Paris. I love to see what famous designers surround themselves with. Images via The Selby.

I’ve always wanted a pair of real Swedish clogs, but for some reason I’ve never gotten to actually buying them. When my friend Sabina was visiting a few weeks ago, we went shop-strolling around SoHo. When I saw a few of these in a shop window, I decided that this summer when I am in Sweden a pair of these lovely creations from Swedish Hasbeens will be mine.
