Many think that sustainable and artisan fashion is synonymous with boring, brown and made with hemp fibers, but they are wrong. Fashion made with artisan hands, with detail, produced little by little and with love can also be ubercool. If you don't believe it, take a look at the collection of shoes created by Venezuelan designer Adriana Epelboim-Levy and stylist Irma Martinez for the Alepel brand for a cause that will touch your heart.

The pointed-toe, open-heeled mule shoes are one hundred percent leather, made in Brazil, and then hand-painted by local Miami artists with designs as irresistible as these wild models inspired by the love of the Colombian stylist for the animal print. The icing on the cake is the emerald-colored Swarovski crystal that serves as the animal's eye.

But in addition to the attractive design, the best thing is that a percentage of the sales of these shoes will go to help the children's hospital La Casa del Niño, in Cartagena, Colombia, the hometown of Irma Martinez.

La casa del Niño is a hospital and non-profit foundation that has been providing access to quality health services for the little ones for 77 years, such as cardiovascular surgery or pediatric hemato-oncology programs. They are the only pediatric hospital in the Colombian Caribbean region, which has up to 28 pediatric specialties and subspecialties and an intensive care unit.

So, you know, if you want to do your bit and also boast original shoes, with much style and more heart, get a pair on the firm's website: alepel.com
