After the big hype made over the slave labor Nike used to produce its ever-famous sneakers, the source of footwear has gotten as much attention as the clothing we wear. With the weather warming quicker than ever before (you know, that global warming myth-thing), summer is right around the corner; time to break out the seasonal footwear! Hand-made in the Northern countryside of Thailand, Chabah makes very stylish sandals for men and women:
Chabah offers stylish, unique products for a surprisingly low price. We believe in making a fair profit, not exploiting consumers or our workers. Through such reasonable pricing, we encourage our customers to make multiple purchases – you receive more goods, and our workers receive more compensation for their efforts. The rustic fabrics such as hemp, woven grass, and sack cloth are locally made and have been used in daily life for centuries.
A number of special promotions are available on the company's website – if you are looking to update your shoe collection or buy gifts for friends, these are great deals. All shoes come in a small cotton bag, almost made under fair conditions in Northern Thailand, and all orders places in the US over $20 (over $40 for any other country) receive free shipping. The company's sizing guidelines are explained clearly as well, making it easy to order a comfortable fit in minutes. Yahoo! Shopping has over 80 reviews from customers, many with glowing testimonials.
Seven designs are available for women, but factoring in the heels, straps, and fabrics, over 40 unique choices are available. As with most brands, the options for men are fewer, but by no means less stylish. Each style is named after a character from Greek mythology, adding extra personality to these lightweight slides. All sandals are priced at an affordable rate of $20 per pair, making it all the more tempting to splurge on a few styles – at least you know your money is funding an honest business.
