THE ONLY trend that won’t go out of fashion is sustainability. Whether it be replacing your plastic bag with a cotton one or choosing to buy less but better, it is something we should all do more of. SAYE is a brand that looks at design from an eco-conscious perspective using innovative technology to recreate classic staples through a sustainable lense.
Collaborating with Desserto Mexico on this new sneaker, the Spanish brand are replacing leather with an alternative material, namely Nopal Cactus.
Saye x Desstero Mexico
Used for the lines and heel of the sneaker, Desserto Mexico have made a name for themselves by taking the cactus leaves and turning them into leather – founders Adrian Lopez and Marte Cazarez have also proven that the material is durable to last at least a decade. The lining and laces are equally as forward-thinking as they are made completely from bamboo and organic cotton – all PETA approved.
