Veja

For a refined version of the sneaker, check out all the orGLAMic shoes made by Veja.  Designed in Paris, this company works with small Brazilian producers of organic cotton and wild rubber from the Brazilian Amazon to create a variety of hip, chic sneaks.  The Indigenos made of vegetable-tanned leather would be my choice for any orGLAMic man in my life, as I think they are youthful and refined at the same time.  I also love that could easily transition from work to play to a night on the town.  Click here to browse the entire orGLAMic collection and here to find a worldwide location near you.

Stay urban-rugged and eco-conscious with a Manly Monday-worthy item by Passchal.  While the also offer colorful items made of recycled billboards, my color-phobic self gravitates towards the items made of recycled tractor inner tubes and eco-conscious leather (meaning all of  the leather used is vegetable-dyed by-product.)  Inner tubes are cleaned in an eco-friendly manner and, to date, the company has recycled over 26 tons of them.  Click here to purchase the Messenger, pictured above, or here to browse the entire orGLAMic collection including wallets and women’s accessories.
