A sneak-peak of Neerg’s SS 2010 photo-shoot! For press kits & wholesale inquiries, contact info@neergorganic.com

What would go better with organic cotton clothes than eco-friendly/vegan shoes? The gorgeous heels you see in the shoot are by “Green Seal” awardee~ NeuAura shoes!

NeuAura Vegan shoes are superb! Because:

• * They DO NOT CONTAIN ANY leather, fur, silk, wool, shell, or pearls.
  NO animal by-products are used in the manufacturing &/or finishing processes.
• * They reduce the strain on the planet of over-farming for the animal industry.
• * Recycling and disposing of all the material waste generated from the factory is done at
  a recycling facility located in the vicinity.
• * They use water-based adhesives and less toxic solvents and chemicals that are
  safer for the environment.
• * They do all this in a very stylish way!

The winners of our last giveaway, Julia & Liz, looking gorgeous in their Neerg t-shirts !  Woot!
