There are shoes that are fashionable, and then there are shoes that are fashionable and sustainable. Cariuma is a brand that fits into the latter category, a ladder that I step up on more often than opting for fast fashion items that aren’t going to last me very long. When you’re able to, shopping sustainably is a great habit to build for your personal style, the environment, and the brands working tirelessly to make the world and your wardrobe a better place.
