Entry Description

Under this series, we have created a collection of shoes made using plastics that are hard to be recycled. The plastic is collected, sorted and cut into strips and handwoven on pit looms by weavers creating a beautiful plastic textile. We use this as shoe upper and create a collection of shoes with heels crafted from reclaimed teak wood and rubber sole with 30% recycled content, cushion with 20% recycled content .
