Naturally dyed, dried in the African sun… this is smart ethics. From £40, bombommorocco.com
Sanayi 313: Exquisite mules, handmade by artisans, commissioned by an Istanbul collective and built to last. They’re madly expensive but they’re absolutely gorgeous – and there are still bargains to be had in the sales (the best being on themodist.com).
Pippa Holt: Luxurious kaftans hand embroidered in remote Mexican villages. There’s only one currently left on netaporter.com (but matchesfashion.com has more). From £590, these are far from cheap, but they’re something you’ll never throw away.
