The 2010 shoe line of Simple Shoes will include their first collection of biodegradable footwear. The outsoles and midsoles break down to dirt in a landfill in 20 years.

Plus they are made from sustainable materials including hemp uppers, recycled car tire bottoms, organic cotton linings, recycled plastic bottles and foot beds, and water based glues.

Indigenous Designs is an eco friendly online shop that is stylish and contemporary. Unlike other indigenous clothing makers who are not!

Most of their fashions are made of organic cotton, alpaca, silk, merino wool, and tencel. They work with environmentally-friendly dyes too. Garments are typically made using one of three carefully selected methods: hand-knit with needles, hand-held knitting looms and hand-woven looms.

Each garment is hand-knit entirely by an individual as part of a small knitting group in their community, not in a factory. They also support and preserve fair trade wages and artisan cooperatives.

Indigenous also utilizes green energy to offset their carbon footprint, offers employee carpools and employee incentives to buy hybrid vehicles, and formed Green Steps-a program to offset the carbon footprint of trade shows.

They are made in countries such as Peru and Guatemala. Indigenous is more than just an organic clothing company!!
