Meet Coclico: Eco-friendly, Ethical Shoes {Summer Sale}

Finally, an eco-friendly and ethical shoe company that consistently churns out on-trend, beautiful shoes each season. So many other companies I've come across pay close attention to materials, yet miss the mark when it comes to style, and that couldn't be farther from the truth when it comes to Coclico.

And guess what-- you can take 30% off any shoe on their web site now through August 3rd with code SUMMER30, and that includes fall boots. Is it too soon for fall ankle boots? I think not.

And just so we're clear on the details, here's the eco-friendly and ethical rundown on Coclico:

• They use accredited tanneries with an emphasis on vegetable-tanned leathers.
• Natural components such as wood, organic linens, recycled cork for internal platforms, recycled foam, non-chrome leather lining and lead free / nickel free hardware are prioritized.
• Whenever possible, these components are sourced from regional suppliers, close to the production facility in Mallorca, Spain, which is known for providing living wages, high safety standards, and environmental reliability.

Coclico is also quite widely available on the interwebs-- you can snag a deal on a pair via Amazon, or take advantage of free shipping and free returns on Shopbop. Or just scroll on through more of my sale favorites below:

Lem Lem: Fair Trade Summer Clothing from Ethiopia

Lemlem, meaning "to bloom" in Amharic, was started by supermodel Liya Kebede as a way of providing Ethiopian weavers with economic independence. Each piece is designed in New York and made in Ethiopia using traditional artisanal weaving practices. The result is a vibrant collection of delicately handcrafted summer staple pieces.

WEARING: Lem Lem cotton striped shirt, fair trade; gifted shorts (secondhand), Pikolinos Masaai sandals (similar HERE), fairly made in Spain with fair trade beading; Mango Tree fitted bangle, made from sustainable mango tree wood, Butter London Three-free nail polish in Ladybird.

Alert! There are a few shirts and shorts similar to the one I'm wearing that are on deep clearance at Net a Porter right now (50%-70% off in size medium and large):

Sandals by Coclico This company examines every facet of its production, from fair labor standards to carbon offsetting. I suggest checking out their web site (it's flash, sorry) to read about their incredibly thoughtful eco-planning.

• Top by Koch, a clothing line made by hand in Texas and New York. 
• Necklace by Study, made from reclaimed copper piping and hand-dyed vintage silk scarves.
• Chambray shorts by Majestic. It is a mystery to me why this company is considered to be eco-friendly. It doesn't say anything on their web site, nor in an article from ecosalon.com in which Clothes by Majestic was featured. But I know Juno and Jove has very high ethical standards for all of the brands they carry, so for now that will have to do :)
