One designer that makes me love buying shoes is the adorable Mia JoieTM brand. These gorgeous shoes are handmade by designer Jessica in the States and are a must have for any stylish bub (girls and boys).
Designer Jessica describes her shoes as “ stylish, super soft and ultra eco-friendly”. The shoes are individually handmade from organic and reclaimed fabrics. In addition to using organic cotton in her shoes, all Mia Joie shoes come specially gift packaged in an eco-friendly and reusable fabric bag. Mia Joie also donates 10% of all sales to Giving Children Hope, a non-profit organization that refurbishes medical equipment to assist needy children.

Why Organic?
First of all, non-organic cotton, while taking up only 2-3% of the earth's cropland, uses a whopping 23% of the world's pesticides. Some of these pesticides are known carcinogens that also make their way into water and surrounding food sources. Second, organic fabrics have also been known to be less irritating to skin, which is especially important for delicate newborns. Third, many of the same companies that produce organic fabrics are also manufacturing them in GREEN facilities. Finally, other organic fabrics are made from sustainable products and do not use PDEs. Most of Mia Joie flowers and other decorative elements are made from Eco-spun felt that is made from 100% post-consumer plastic, namely water bottles.

Just in case your were asking what does “reclaimed mean”?
If an item features "reclaimed" materials, it means it was created from something that has been discarded for one reason or another. A vintage dress with an irreparable tear, a dated old suit coat, a swatch of discontinued fabric -- whatever the case may be, an existing material is adapted for a new use with the end product being both beautiful and good for the planet. Any items made from reclaimed materials are truly couture in the sense that they are made in very limited quantity.

Wow.! Those shoes are absolutely gorgeous and much stylish.
Organic products are essentially earth-friendly, sustainable and natural, not only in its entity but in production mode. Which makes safer and healthier.
