What might a summer classic look like after getting the Stella McCartney treatment? Well, something like the Gaia espadrilles we reckon. Recreated through the brand’s playful and sustainable lens, this pair begins with a canvas frame, which is secured using logo-adorned laces arranged into a cross-over design. Note the new S-Wave logo woven across the upper, too – it’s a nod to the brand’s circular values. Set above traditional woven jute, you’ll find extra drama (and height) in the EVA platform sole.
Stella is a girl’s girl, visible in designs that embrace femininity from a variety of different and subtle angles. The always-cool and famously-vegetarian brand uses biodegradable fabrics and no fur or leather, setting design and animal welfare on an equal footing, with unshakeable standards for both.
'Stella McCartney uses of a variety of materials with lower environmental impact, including re-engineered cashmere, certified higher-welfare wool, organic cotton, recycled nylon and polyester and sustainably sourced viscose, and vegetarian alternatives to leather, fur, silk and feathers.'
