These styles are made using vegan materials that are better for the planet, such as:
• Recycled jersey lining, made from yarn created from post-consumer (used) plastic bottles
• BLOOM™ algae foam insoles made from algae harvested from rivers and lakes
• Eco vegan leather that is solvent-free and more energy-efficient than other vegan leathers.
These 19 sustainable styles are the next step in Call It Spring’s path to creating a better tomorrow, together.
In the world we live in, sustainable style shouldn’t be aspirational. Just like our customers, we want to reduce our impact on the planet so we’re working to make shoes and accessories that don’t compromise on price or style with the addition of eco-conscious materials.
Understanding that vegan does not necessarily mean sustainable, we have created these sustainably vegan styles to give our community the opportunity to feel good about their choices.
Recycled polyester: All vegan suedes and polyester linings in this collection are made with recycled, post-consumer plastic water bottles. By shopping our sustainably vegan collection, you’re helping us keep 295,629 plastic bottles out of landfills and our oceans. Additionally by changing all microsuedes to 26% recycled microsuede throughout our entire Fall/Winter 2019 offering , we’ve recycled 477,841 plastic water bottles (this number includes the Sustainable collection).
Renewable BLOOM™ algae foam: BLOOM™ foam insoles in these styles are made from a sustainable algae-based material that helps support biodiversity in our rivers and lakes, a sustainable alternative to nonrenewable petroleum-based foams. That means that by shopping this collection, you’re helping to clean and replenish over 1 million litres of water in rivers and lakes. For more information, visit bloomfoam.com
Waterborne PU & Sock: The eco vegan leather (PU) in these styles uses less energy to create than standard vegan leathers and is free of all chemical solvents. The collection is helping to save over 58 tonnes of CO2, or the equivalent of driving a car around the earth five times.
