A Great Deal on Eco-friendly Shoes: Free Sandals and Free Shipping

I just found an incredible sale at SimpleShoes.com (one of my favorite green companies). They are giving away free special edition “Stop Global Warming” sandals, with any purchase (including the clearance stuff). They are also currently offering Free Shipping. These sneakers and shoes are not only “green”, but I have found them to be well made and comfortable. I have had a pair of their sneakers for several years and I love them. This deal is a great way to try this environmentally concious brand out.

There were a number of nice items available in the clearance section. Several handbags, as well as, some men’s footwear were also offered. Any of them would work out to a great deal. Outside the clearance section they have some very cute options for kids, and a wide array of great casual shoes and bags.

These are the sandals that Simple Shoes is offering for free (reg. price $65).

I purchased a pair of clearance sneakers and the sandals. With discount code and free shipping, my total was only $9.90.

The deal is running through May 31ts, or until supplies last. They still had the sandals available in many sizes, at the time of this post.

The code for the free sandals is: HappyEarthDay09

Smoking Hot Green Fashion, from Cigarette Butts

New Chilean fashion designer, Alexandra Guerro, has managed to create beautiful and functional high fashion clothing, at a price accessible to average people. This in itself, can be a challenge for up and coming designers, but when you consider the fact that the yarn used to create her fashions is recycled from discarded cigarette butts, it is truely amazing. The butts are collected locally, purified, and spun with wool, the resulting yarn is knit into lovely hats, ponchos, boleros and dresses. Alexandra started this as a college project, but due to strong interest, it has developed into a full design company, now called Mantis. As you can see by the example above, the pieces are quite beautiful and wearable. Prices are reasonable ranging from $50 (US) to $285 (US), the dress pictured is currently listed on the website at $110, not bad for original designer fashion and remember these clothes also come with a built in cocktail conversation, to boot.
