Partnering with H&M for this Sustainable Shoe Collection

H&M, one of the biggest retail stores in the world, is making greater efforts to push sustainability in its brand. A perfect way to do so is by collaborating with Good News Brand, which is H&M’s first shoe collaboration using sustainable material.

In the construction of the collection of shoes, each element was considered to contain recycled material, including Tencel, organic wool, hemp, and recycled rubber. The main material focused on is Bananatex, a durable and waterproof plant-based fabric.

Bananatex is made out of banana plants that come from a natural ecosystem in the Philippines that functions without the use of dangerous chemicals.

Not only are these two brands concentrated on bringing a sustainable collection of shoes to everyone, but they also incorporate fun into them all. Good News is known for its retro style; therefore, an assortment of colors and patterns will be featured. The collection will be released online at hm.com on April 1st and across the US at selective stores on April 15th.
