Today I went to the London Green Fair, I have been going for 3 years in a row now and this year was the best!

I met some people doing amazing stuff.

Gavin from THTC creates t-shirts made from organic cotton and hemp.

Sven Segal used to be a mainstream shoe designer for years, he said he got fed up with the nasty materials that where used to make them and so he decided to go off and create his own set of natural shoes.

Below Sven is holding a pair of shoes that is totally natural, the sole is made of natural latex rubber, under your foot is a shock absorbing matt made from coconut husks that protect the shell and latex to bind it, the top part of the shoe is made from hemp fabric and the outside you can see a sewn patter that is cork. I am now the proud owner of these amazing shoes!
