Eco Style: Keds by Loomstate

Keds by Loomstate

What happens when Keds, Barneys New York, and Loomstate get together?  A sensational, eco-friendly line of shoes to strut around in for summer 09, that's what!

Keds Loomstate Barneys

Rogan Gregory and Scott Hahn of Loomstate partnered with Keds to create a summer footwear collection, to be sold exclusively at Barneys.com and select Barneys New York store locations.  The shoes have 100% certified organic uppers and linings, nickel-free eyelets, and 100% recycled insole boards.  Plus, the box they come in is reused or recycled and you won't find any wasteful piles of tissue paper inside. 

A percentage of the sales proceeds will be donated to The Organic Exchange, which is committed to expanding organic agriculture to benefit the environment and the economy.  Best of all, the shoes are just $75 a pair, so you can look good and do good without breaking the bank!  --Angel
