Every now and then I find a brand that really resonates with my world view. Twins For Peace is one of them. This awesome European company make brightly coloured shoes out of Italian fabric and leather, use recycled packaging, pay workers a fair wage and respect their rights.
Each TWINS collection is associated with a Shoe Project that is established in partnership with an NGO in a developing country (the video at the very bottom documents this). Each time you wear you TWINS, you act as a TWINS Ambassador. The TWINS you buy will finance the donation of a second pair of shoes to a needy child. The second pair of shoes are produced in the Shoe Project's country, as a way to stimulate its economy. Each pair of shoes donated is tailored to the needs of the children.
After each collection, the TWINS for Peace team travels to the country of the collection's Shoe Project and directly invests all of the money raised. They purchase shoes from a local factory helping both the children and the local economy.
It really does not get better than that in the land of fashion. Oh, yeah - except that because TWINS, together with Soboutiq, want YOU to be an ambassador they are GIVING AWAY one pair of shoes from their Classic range (pictured below) to a reader of The Beetle Shack.

ReplyDeleteWoo! I have done all three things. I would dearly love to get a blue pair for my husband, to replace the blue sand shoes he wears at the moment, they belonged to my Granddad and he hasn't found any he likes half as much - I think these would totally cut it.
ReplyDeleteI have also facebooked it.
ReplyDeleteWhat fantastic giveaway! I love the vertes color - very cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is totally cool! And I love that they don't just send the shoes - they actually help the local economy. I just realised that I haven't been following (thought I had) - Fixed that now! :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I can't decide between the vertes or the rouges!
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant Em.
ReplyDeleteI'm a GFC follower and would love to win the beige pair.
