 Collection & Co began with an active attitude to provide vegan and sustainable footwear with the use of non?animal leathers and non?animal glues. Collection & Co. recognised the opportunity for developing a unisex product, when they observed that many of their customers shopped styles designed for the opposite gender.

 

The ‘Trexi’ has a minimal, clean-cut and low top design, set on a comfortable 2.5cm rubber sole. They’re a dependable choice that looks great with casual or smart outfits. Each shoe is carefully perforated with air holes to help distribute weight and allow the foot to breathe. With a secure tread sole for extra grip and added cushioning to the tongue and ankle area, for around the clock comfort.

Although it is ensured that the ‘TREXI’ trainers hold qualities such as breathability and durability, they are strictly designed to be a fashion shoe rather than a technical sports shoe. Crafted from four sustainable material options they are a wardrobe essential you can wear whenever, wherever. Three designs are made from a combination of recycled plastics, creating a soft faux leather effect, available in black, white and beige. The other is constructed from organic cotton twill, making it lightweight and breathable for those hotter days. All are finished with contrasting logo tabs on the back heels and a minimal lace up front.

 

Collection& Co are located on The Ground Floor of The Galleries, near the Merchant Street entrance. Check out their website at www.collectionandco.co.uk.
