Festival season is well and truly upon us. While I might be just a tad jealous of all those trotting off to Glastonbury tomorrow, I'm sticking to London-based jaunts only this summer with Aerosmith, Lovebox and SW4 in my diary already.
Provided the weather stays sunny, there will some new kicks gracing my feet this season from Inkkas. Arriving on our shores from South America, Inkkas range of high tops, skate shoes and lace ups are all handmade in Peru using traditional fabrics, by skilled local artisans, providing jobs for local communities. What's more, for every pair sold the company works with Trees for the Future to plant one tree in the fight against deforestation. So you're doing your bit for the world with every pair sold; doesn't that make you feel a bit warm and fuzzy inside?
Inkkas are available now in Topshop Oxford Circus and the new USC store on Oxford street, with the high tops retailing at £60 and the low/skate styles - including the Bluebird Slip Ons pictured above - at £50. Also available from
