'yara' woven oiled leather sandal in habana, $140, birkenstockusa.com

I am in heaven after seeing the new styles & colors that Birkenstock just debuted in their Spring/Summer ‘09 line!

In high school, I bought my first pair of Birkenstock sandals – the Arizona – and have been hooked ever since.  Over the years they have teamed up for many cool collaborations with designers like Phillip Lim and brands like A Bathing Ape & Stussy.

Birkenstock’s were earth-conscious before it was hip…carrying on their amazing tradition of German craftsmanship since 1774.  They are considered trailblazers in this ‘throwaway’ industry because they promote repairing and recycling your old ‘Birks.’

Each shoe is made of sustainable & renewable materials like cork, natural latex and jute.  In fact, the cork used to make the footbed is actually excess material from the wine industry – when making wine corks for the bottles.

Here’s my wish list below…they literally have all the trends covered from patent & metallic finishes to earthy embellishments + pale palettes!

Check out the line in it’s entirety @ birkenstockusa.com.
