Last week I attended the Sassy and Melissa Shoes event. I was pleasantly surprised that the Brazilian company was actually an eco fashion friendly company supporting sustainable development. All of their shoes are created from mono materials meaning that they can be broken down and recycled. And they do all of there recycling in house, so nothing nasty leaves their factory. Also Melissa shoes works with various non-profit organizations and social programs. They even donate a seasonal line's entire income to a charity of their choice.
As if all that isn't reason enough to buy a pair of Melissa shoes they are absolutely fabulous. The brand teams up with both local, up and coming designers and major all ready established designers to create fresh funky looks. Recently they have been working with Vivienne Westwood on some super fun shoes and they even worked with Zaha Hadid the first woman Laureate of the Pritzker Prize for architecture. Many of their shoe designs have stemmed from some part of architecture.
So if your ready to do your part and support a super fun, fashion friendly, company you can find their designs online, at Lane Crawford and Peddar Red
