Eco-friendly footwear label, Coclico, showed off their love of neutral, low-heeled shoes this Fall 2009. Given that Kenzo showed similar styles this season and that we've been seeing quite a few wooden-soled sandals in stores recently, we think Coclico will find themselves in good company this Fall 2009. Check out part of their new range in the gallery below.
French footwear brand Coclico will be the first to admit that their products are not "perfect". What they mean is that they have yet to discover a way to make stylish, bio-degradable shoes from renewable resources using renewable energy in the production process. As you can see, they take this stuff very seriously. With Earth Day approaching at the end of the month we are reminded of brands that go the extra mile in order to create responsible product. Coclico is most definitely among them--they use regionally produced vegetable tanned metal-free leathers, FSC-certified cork, and nickel free and lead free metal hardware on their shoes. To top it all off, their Nolita flagship uses alternative energy and is otherwise moving in the direction of being 100% sustainable. Click on the title link to learn more.

Today we ventured into Manhattan for a press preview at the Marie Saeki showroom--nestled on a downtown cobblestone street it is one of our favorite showrooms to visit. Today we started the preview off with the shoe line Coclico, which we remember from our first years in New York--their shop is located on Mott Street in Nolita which was (and still is) our favorite weekend jaunt. The French brand was borne back in 2000 and puts sustainable practices at the forefront of production. Coclico's aesthetic is classic and comfortable but still fashion forward. Our favorite shoes from the collection were the salmon colored sandals with a wooden wedge sole and the white and grey peep toe sandals, which are also part of the Fall 08 line in different colors.
