Happy Birthday, Charmoné: Take 25% off!
Charmoné is the kind of company you want to point out to every eco-fashion skeptic you know. When people complain that fashionable shoes have to be made out of leather, or that conscious brands are filled with ugly flats and “safe” colors, all I have to do is point them to Charmoné to shut them up.
“Our mission is to create beautiful, luxurious, sexy shoes that are also sustainable and cruelty-free. Every shoe incorporates European design and quality while using only animal-free, eco-friendly materials. We believe no one should sacrifice their style conscious just to serve their social conscience.”
I’ve seen a lot of companies claim to be ethical and fashionable, but most of them don’t hit the mark like Charmoné does. Their shoes push the limits, both in style and in consciousness:
- Compassion for Animals: Charmoné shoes are completely vegan friendly, and constructed with Italian microfibers that are breathable, lightweight, colorfast and even waterproof.
- Compassion for the Planet: Using microfiber also creates less pollution than using animal skin: no tanning or factory farming necessary. Charmoné also avoids using PVCs and incorporates recycled materials into their production process and marketing practices.
- Compassion for People: Though the shoes aren’t US-made, they are sweatshop free, which supports a healthy global economy (via Italy and Brazil). They also donate 5% of their profits to charities like Women for Women International, which provides tools and assistance to women survivors of war to help them become self-sufficient.
All this awesomeness comes at a price, and these shoes aren’t cheap. However, if you’ve got some extra skrill lying around, you’re in luck: Charmoné’s owners are both having birthdays and, to celebrate, are offering 25% off of any purchase until August 20. (Just use coupon code LEO at check out.) Many of their designs are already on sale, too, which means some of their $325 pumps are now under a hundred dollars!
Still skeptical? Haven’t clicked over to Charmoné’s site yet? No worries – I’ll just show you my favorites to tempt you a little more.
Charmoné Darjeeling: $111.75
Also comes in green!
Charmoné Marco Polo: $111.75
Also available in green!
Charmoné Cinnamon: $134.25
This is the shoe that made Charmoné famous, and I can see why.
It also comes in black.
Charmoné Cezanne: $126.75
For the bold, these also come in antique garden…with red straps.
Charmoné Dragonwell: $126.75
I love the heel detail. I must have these, like, yesterday.
If you love these designs as much as I do, now’s the time to pick them up. These are the more expensive designs (for fall) so if you’re looking for even deeper discounts, check out their bright, bold summer sale. (My favorites are Thistle, a Grecian style platform on sale for $96.75, and the tie-up Monarch flat – in reds or blues – on sale for $59.25.) Don’t forget to use coupon code LEO to get that 25% discount!
