London Fashion Rocks

OK back to the matter at hand: fashion. Oftentimes we don’t need the clothes we buy, but sometimes fashion is a neccesity, like buying shoes. Everyone needs ‘em, especially in London in the dead of winter. The shoe industry however, relies heavily on unethical manufacturing processes so, if you’re going to splash out, you might as well know your money is going to a good cause.

Blackspot shoes are made of vegan leather, hemp and tread on the bottom with recycled tires. They are made in factories with unions and paid for with fair trade in mind. Also, they are only sold in independent retailers so the money made by the shoes can go back into local communities. And they are fierce and snatched — sounds good to me.
