Trend Watch:
Oxford Shoes
Not just for young girls and school uniforms, the oxford shoe trend is all the rage this season. But chromium dyed leather and toxic materials are never trendy in our book. So we’ve found a few styles that’ll satisfy your need for the “in” look while keeping your commitment to eco-friendly fashion standards.
Coclico uses vegetable tanned leather, FSC-certified wood and cork, and boasts lead and nickel-free hardware as part of their firm commitment to eco-progress. The “megumi ochi” oxford style collection comes in a variety of gorgeous colors, and we love the contrast lacing ($265-$275).
For the vegan gals in the group, there’s the “BoBo Terra” from the UK-based compassionate fashion boutique, Bourgeois Boheme. Available in tan or earth, we love the cut-out look paired with charcoal stockings for a flirty peek-a-boo effect (£65.00). The company personally visits the factories to ensure that the products are up to their environmental and ethical standards, using organic, fair trade materials and finishes with the least harmful effect on the earth.
