Claudius by Terraplana + Nau: a brand for the minimal sustainable man (and woman).

– It’s blue, black or white and it’s called Claudius, the new vegan shoe by Terraplana

Claudius is in organic canvas, recycled rubber soles, recycled memory foam footbeds and scores very high on the ecomatrix:

NAU: the ecofriendly organic cotton brand  – I came across this company by chance, surfing the web on a Saturday afternoon, I don’t even think I was checking vegan fashion or such things. It just happened. Lots of vegan stuff although the company is not exclusively vegan, but very committed to produce “sustainable urban and outdoor apparel”. Check them out if you think design and sustainability must go hand in hand. Their Organic Cotton and Recycled Poly lines are spot on for the more casual or minimalistic man.. You will surely hear about this brand in the coming weeks on and off the web. Too many wonderful items to signal all of them. Following is a selection of the things I liked: who wouldn’t like a lightbeam jacket (in whatever colour, they are al nice!) or an organic cotton blazer in “dark fume stripe”?

Terra Plana: a step in the right direction.

Last year I asked Terra Plana why they did not have enough vegan models among their models and they promptly answered me that “they were working on it”. I took it as a standard customer response and moved on in my endless search for the perfect vegan shoes. You can imagine how pleasantly surprise I was when I saw their new Non Leather Line for men: Focus, Claudius and Newton. I like the clean, pure, slightly nerdy look design of Claudius. Go and chose yours.

£1 from the sale price of every pair sold will be donated to Greenpeace in support of their ‘Slaughtering the Amazon’ campaign. We like when good compassion design meets environmental concerns. And we need to pre-book at least one pair “asap” as they will go on sale soon and chances are they’ll be sold out pretty quickly. You’ve been warned boy!

The old equation:

VEGAN = HIPPIE

has once and for all been resolved according to:

VEGAN ⊂ STYLE, DESIGN AND TRENDY

[⊂ = belongs to]

No more lame excuse, choose Veganism.
