A Patriotic Shoe for Vegans: Jelly Sandals
I have a great tip for y’all on some hot new kicks that have recently dropped.
Jellies.
I vividly remember having tiny jellies embedded with mysterious sparkles when I was about 3-4.
The more things change the more they stay the same.
You know, that french proverb has got me thinking. I think Jellies can be seen as a kind of patriotic shoe for vegans and vegetarians. Since they are 100% rubber, they say I Wear No Leather in a way fake leather shoes cannot.
It reminds me of the odd attire people wore during the french revolution. Was it red shirts? red caps? Sans Culottes?
Tell me in the comments.
And now.
I give you …..
THIS!
THIS!
I bought them in pink and mysterious clear glitter from topshop. The links will take you there. They have flat versions as well.
On a side note, there are so many cool shoes at topshop. It is really a shame almost definitely none of them are vegan. If only there was a vegan topshop.
Your thoughts: Do you like jellies or if you wore them when you were really young, is this too lolita for you?
Let me know your thoughts on these!
They’re simply gorgeous!
