Unique Gift Ideas With Sustainable Impact:
The apparel industry has made great strides using more environmentally friendly manufacturing and shipping processes to develop, package, and ship their products. Nowadays, it is popular to find apparel and related industries made from plastic or re-purposed times.

In that case, stylelujo.com has provided these thoughtful options for the environmentally and socially responsive recipient. But with all good things comes a price.

With the holiday season swiftly approaching, gift-givers worldwide may be pondering what to get their family, significant other, or best friend. With limitless options and an array of gifts, most consumers nowadays are focused on the facility itself and its impact on the environment.
Our list includes items that have sustainable attributs sourced or made from recycled or repurposed materials.
Seishou:
Seishou is born from designers Masaharu Ikeda and Yuko Matsuzaki’s long experience in the footwear industry. Its name is a composite word comprising two ideograms, which together express the concept “to sing in unison”, reflecting the union between Japanese design (renowned for its focus on comfort, essentialism and functionality) and high-quality Italian manufacture. These are the values that identify Seishou: “Essential design made in Italy.”
The brand is directly involved in the creation of Seishou shoes. Designer Yuko, in particular, takes an active role in the process by maintaining constant dialogue with the artisans working in Seishou shoe factories.
“A perfect combination – comments Matsuzaki – My goal is to help reforest the region and support olive cultivation and oil production. I hope, in this way, to lend a hand to Puglia to fight a disease that for, more than a decade, has been endangering one of its first excellences, giving a hand to the local agricultural sector and its many companies”, the designer continues.
Therefore, the Japanese designer has decided to make a name for herself in the U.S. market with a model that is not only beautiful and distinctive, but also comfortable, original, and high quality, like all her shoes.

KANE FOOTWEAR:
The Revive ($80) was designed in collaboration with sports podiatrist Dr. Dan Geller to offer the best features to keep your feet comfortable and let your feet heal.

- A wide toe box to accommodate for post-run swelling
- 31mm of cushioning underfoot to absorb impact
- Raised nodes on the sole to stimulate feet
