In the spirit of giving back fashionably, Nine West is launching its Vintage America Collection and sponsoring a shoe drive to benefit Soles4Souls. Starting September 9-24 shoppers will receive a 15% off coupon for a pair of new heels retailing for $75 or more.

Nashville-based Soles4Souls(TM) facilitates the donations of both new and used shoes, which are used to aid the hurting worldwide. Soles4Souls has distributed more than 5 million pairs (currently donating one pair every 13 seconds) to people in over 125 countries, including Honduras, Uganda, Romania, and the United States.

And also in the spirit of being eco friendly, this shoe drive a great way to recycle shoes to benefit others. If you’re like me, with an extensive shoe collection, you have at least a couple pair of gently worn shoes that would greatly benefit Soles4Souls.

Clothing made from bamboo or plastic bottles may not sound appealing — or comfortable. But once you experience it, you might be pleasantly surprised.
