Let's Talk | Sustainable Fashion with Allbirds.

 *This Post contains PR Gifts

I have been researching sustainable and environmentally conscious fashion for quite some time now. And as much as I am still learning and far from perfect, I think it is much more effective if we all do our bit instead of just a very few trying to do everything right all the time. With that being said, I am quite intrigued by all of the wonderful sustainable brands out there. And today I want to talk about Allbirds. 

It was actually my boyfriend who introduced me to this brand while I was on the lookout for some new every day sneakers. He is much more up to date with the environmentally-conscious brands out there, so I always value his input. For full transparency, Allbirds was so kind to send me a pair to try myself (with no obligation not write this post by the way). But I absolutely had to share them with you guys. 

The Runners

I have had my Women's Wool Runners in Natural Grey for a few weeks now and they haven't left my feet since. Of course, I love the ethics behind Allbirds, but it doesn't stop there. They are extremely comfortable and beautiful to look at. Obviously, I had to go for a neutral grey and they really go with everything in my wardrobe. I am obsessed with their simple design that really doesn't age. 

The Comfort

What makes them so comfy is their material. The upper part is made out of merino wool which makes them as soft as a blanket. And because they are so comfy you can wear them with or without socks! Their material even makes sure that you stay cool in the summer and nice and warm in the winter. It really feels like magic! Now you must probably be thinking how the sole can be sustainable? Well, it is made from Brazilian sugarcane, which makes the material the world's first carbon-negative EVA.

The Maintenance

Another point that I love about my wool runners is that you can simply pop them in the washing machine to clean them. However, please don't put them in the tumble dryer. Just let them out to dry naturally. 

They recently got some extra browny points from me when they gave out free sneakers to healthcare workers who are working in the frontline of fighting COVID-19. I mean, can you love a brand any more than that?
