Recycled Car Tire Sandals from the Amazon

Monday, May 25th, 2009

Cool sandals for a hot summer. Made in Brazil from recycled car tires. They nicely “mold to your feet” after a few wearings …you won’t want to take them off. They come in lots of colors: green, black, white, gold, and silver and two styles. One has a black sole and the other is called “Cip” which has fibers from the Cipo plant running through the soles.
Green chic at its finest!!
£20.99 GBP with free shipping world wide all summer long at Amazon Sandals

Designer Aaron Chang uses this polyester which is very similar to traditional swimsuit material …big difference is that this fabric helps keep trash out of the landfills.
Prices range from $69.00 – $99.00 at Faeries Dance

TIP: Faeries Dance offers these swimsuits at 10% below the manufacturer’s retail price, too!
