Remember those gorgeous sandals you had as a child, that your parents couldn’t get off your feet? We have the adult version! The Brazilian brand, Melissa, are the creators of the original jelly shoe! For those who are currently not a die-hard fan of the brand, they are made from PVC – allowing the shoes to be flexible, comfortable and stylish. They have been around for 25 years, and the brand often does collaborations with exciting and innovative designers across all fields, including furniture, jewellery and design. All styles are created with a zero waste ethos, and the plastic been made from mono-materials so that they can be easily disassembled and recycled.
But before you ask, “would the plastic make your feet sweat?”, the company uses the most ‘breathable’ types of PVC, and Melissa ensures that ventilation is incorporated into the design of the shoe. And want to know something extra special about them? They smell like bubblegum!
