For lots of environmentally conscious hipsters it can be hard to show how much you love the earth - I mean sure, you can buy Ecover washing-up liquid and cycle your Pashley to the farmers market to buy jam from renewable strawberry patches but without the right props how would anyone really know? Lets say you have a night at the theatre, aside from asking loudly in the bar if the pinot noir is organic and fairtrade you could be mistaken for just another spoiled, shallow, middleclass, self-deluded clown. Luckily the wonderful world of ARCHITECTURE proffers a solution - eco shoes! That’s right, limited edition “work-of-art” shoes designed by starchitect Zaha Hadid. They’re injection moulded using RECYCLED MATERIALS! On sale at Dover Street market the shoes are a very reasonable £200 including “limited edition box”. What makes these shoes a Must-Have though, is that they’re basically really expensive designer jelly-shoes - you can wear them to the beach in Barbados this summer (Hubby will carbon offset the flight - no worries there!).
