The warmer weather is well on its way and Etiko has you covered for stylish summer footwear – thongs that not only look good, but do good too. Partnering with the Wilderness Society, Save the Children, Surfrider Foundation and The Orangutan Project, the new initiative honours each organisation with their own thong style and donates them a portion of sales for each pair sold. But the good work doesn’t end there! The thongs themselves are made with both natural and recycled rubber, under fair trade practices, and with a 15% fair trade premium going to workers. Etiko is probably best known for being one of the pioneers of ethical clothing and footwear, and for recently winning big at the 2013 Fairtrade Awards!
