Melissa - Vegan, Eco-Friendly Plastic Shoes



Perhaps I'm late to the party, but I've just discovered Melissa shoes--a Brazilian company creating amazingly whimsical designs in recycled plastic. There's so much to love about the brand:

* Socially Responsible: high wages, extended benefits
* Cruelty free: no animal products at any stage of production
* Eco-friendly: 99.9% of factory water and waste is recycled, overstock styles are recycled into new styles

But none of that would count for much if the shoes weren't gorgeous, which they are! In addition to their own designs, Melissa has also partner with a bunch of different talents, from fashion designers like Vivienne Westwood to product designer Karim Rashid.

So wonderful, and they're affordable, too!
