Sustainable Style Edit
Could there be a clearer message from our planet, than the climate change of this summer and last few weeks, that we need to live more sustainably?
The anti-plastics debate has hotted up too, with supermarkets moving to ban plastics from its fruit & veg aisles, and few fashion debates don’t touch on micro fibre pollution with over 200,000 plastic fibres washing off polyester clothing to pollute 83% of tap water world-wide {CLICK read more about that here on my blog}.
Veganism hhttps://safia-minney.complastic-micro-fibre-pollution-from-laundry-in-tap-water/as grown SIX fold to THREE million people in UK in just two years; and large corporations are coming to grips with how to eradicate Modern Slavery from their supply chains and what meeting the Sustainable Development Goals means. Unsurprisingly, Christmas gift giving is changing too. If people are going to buy new, increasingly they want to buy ethically and sustainably.
At Po-Zu, we make shoes differently. We use the best sustainable materials, organic cotton, cork, pineapple leaf fibre, chrome-free leather and we don’t pollute the air our workers breath with harmful toxins from glues. Our workers work in safe factories where the highest ethical standards are in place.
• Our best loved styles such as the Sneak, the Alma boot, Liv boot and the Wrap Chrome-free leather Chelsea boot are back by popular demand.
• New styles will include a non-leather sneaker which nods to the continuing athleisure trend, a vegan snow boot – the comfy and cosy après ski boot.
• The Star Wars line features a high-quality leather Resistance sneaker and the Rebel Combat and a wide collection of sneakers for Star Wars fans and cosplayers.
“Seasons may come and go but the ethical footwear trend is here to stay, which is why we are also introducing new styles, the majority of which are also vegan, for this season. It’s been incredibly exciting building our ethical and sustainable supply chain in Sri Lanka and we’re so pleased to be able to offer customers an even wider collection of ethically-made footwear at prices that are ever more affordable.” – Sven Segal, CEO of Po-Zu
