Libertas Sustainable Sandals
It’s the first day of June but your shoe wardrobe can’t just consist of recycled-tire flip-flops destined for the beach, right? Especially in the happy-go-lucky, any-excuse-for-a-vacation early days of summer, there’s nothing more chic than a wispy little dress and a pair of equally ethereal sandals.
Enter Libertas.
The shoe company was created by part-time rock star Savannah Auger, frontwoman for Oblivion Express, a project created by dad Brian Auger (formerly of the Animals). But this is no silver-spoon project: Auger designs, markets and oversees manufacturing, as evidenced by her tongue-in-cheek photo on our home page. Yes, indeed, she will work for shoes.
As at home on the Cote d’Azur as they are at your farmer’s market, Libertas’s sexy and slinky navy blue, peace sign sandals are made from recycled scraps of sustainably-farmed, chrome-free, never-endangered whipsnake leather, manufactured in small quantities and shipped in recycled paper boxes.
