The shoes were originally made in association with the artist Paula Ulargui Escalona and blossomed with actual grass.
If you wear this pair of shoes in a board meeting you would probably be laughed at; a lot!
The company also designed matching jackets, pants, and sweatshirts that all featured long, green grass. It’s interesting to note that Paula Ulargui Escalona sowed seeds onto 42 pairs of sneakers months before the presentation, while routine maintenance was carried out to keep them looking runway - ready.
The intention of the brand was to portray the objects that gradually meld with nature. The shoes are composed of canvas, and Loewe hand - embroidered raffia all over to create the grass finish. To give the raffia a grass - like texture, it has been manually sewn. The manufacturing process of canvas involves the use of a lot of chemicals so it's also not very eco-friendly.
The raffia fibre itself is not considered waterproof, which entails If you wear this pair of shoes in a board meeting you would probably be laughed at; a lot! As, for those looking to personify the phrase "the grass is greener on my side," Loewe's grass sneakers await you.
