Even the strictest vegan fashionista can go weak at the sight of a pair of supple leather slingbacks, but a new line of footwear from Cri De Coeur promises to bring eco- and animal-free design to fashion’s front line. Founder Gina Ferraraccio attended Parson’s School of Design and after years of searching in vain for footwear that was both animal-friendly and super stylish, she launched Cri de Coeur.

 

Of course, all of the do-goodery in the world wouldn’t matter if there were no style to back it up, but thankfully, Cri de Coeur delivers. Their debut collection includes decidedly feminine shoes made from unexpected materials such as a suede-like microfiber and canvas. We love the gorgeously understated Chloe peep-toe flat made of crisp blue chambray as well as the sexy yet comfortable Sierra peep-toe sandal. Prices are cruelty-free as well; prices range from $120 to $250.

 

Determined to do more than simply make shoes, Cri de Coeur has also partnered with thecarbonfund.org to offset all unavoidable carbon emissions and will plant a tree for every pair of shoes sold.  Now that’s tree-hugging with style.
