Too good: the leather of these shoes is made from WINE
Coming across these shoes was truly meant to be. I had decided not to buy leather anymore (it’s cruel to animals), even though I really like its look. Especially for sneakers. So I’ve now found the perfect alternative: sneakers made with leather from grapes!

I found them at the Green Sneaker Store by ABCB in Amsterdam (but they also have a really great online shop).
Leather from grapes and wine? How does that work?
Well, let me explain. The ‘leather’ on the outside is 50% made from grape skins, the leftover product from making wine. How great is that? By the way, all their shoes are completely organic and sustainable. They also have sneakers made from hemp. Hilarious, right?
If you’re still looking for a gift for a wine lover: you know where to go.
