Why it's eco-friendly:
The Maple ankle boot is made
from recycled quilts. Terra
Plana has been using the Saami
quilts in their footwear production
since autumn 2005. The
Saami are seminomadic people,
living in the desert of Sindh,
Pakistan. They make their quilts
from vibrant & unique cotton
scraps and patches, which gives
them a unique distinction. The
Saami believe that the colors
and patterns are what gives the
quilt life. Terra Plana also uses
recycled rubber soles as well as
organic hemp canvas & vegetable
tanned leathers in all products.
$250.
