They can take you out the city but they can't take the city out of you.


For display only 'Elevated court shoes' by Vivienne Westwood, straight from the District line! LOOOOOVVVVEEEE IT!

Hello,

Super Eco friendly company, 'Above + Below London', make those wicked trainers mostly with recycled materials.

You might be well familiar with the fabric used for them.... You also might have already spotted that they are made from upholstery of the London Underground and Buses!

So that everyday Central line or Bakerloo line train you might take... might be the next trend in town.

Those trainers are hand made in Portugal by a family business, the fabric used for the shoes, recycled seats from the tube and buses is handpicked and scrupulously cleaned and restored... perhaps being slightly faded after cleaning, giving it a vintage touch to them. The soles are made with 33% recycled rubber from bus tyres and all leathers are recycled from old cheque book holders. What a fantastic idea!

Above + Below London also promise to donate a free tree for each pair sold.
