Remember when some well-travelled trendsetters shipped some colourful rubber thongs back from Brazil, whacked an exorbitant price tag on them and called them the latest footwear craze?

Well this is nothing like that…. We promise.

While trekking through South America, intrepid Aussie Emily Cooper fell in love. Not with a gorgeous man named Paulo, but with Alpargata shoes, an espardrille crossed with a sandshoe, made from canvas and hemp by the villagers of a small Argentinian town.

Knowing how adverse Aussies are to things they can’t pronouce, she renamed them AppleGators and shipped a stack of them home so we Aussies could start walking like an Argentinian, and support their local economy too. Did someone say fashion with a conscience? Forget Crocs. Get some Gators.
