Saint Francis Couture designs high fashion, animal friendly shoes and accessories, and they are now introducing apparel and jewelry. The company’s founder and designer, Tere Albanese, is a vegetarian who refuses to wear anything made from animals. “I thought the world needed some high fashion, moderately priced, comfortable, but sexy, shoes and accessories that were cruelty free,” said Tere. The company is named after Saint Francis, who is the patron saint of animals and part of the proceeds go to animal welfare organizations. Her first line is the Africa Collection, which honors African Wildlife.
Africa Ankle Boot: Size 9 3″ Heel. Great for slipping on under paints or jeans. Rounded Toes for comfort. Rubber sole for quiet, comfortable walking. 5” zipper. 3” heel, which is sexy, but all-day wearable. 6 – 12 in whole and half sizes. $58.00 Value
Africa Clutch Bag: 8″ Wide X 5″ Tall X 3″ Deep. Use this adorable and functional bag for formal wear without the shoulder strap, or with the shoulder strap over your head and across your body while riding a bicycle with your Africa Flats or Clogs. Petite, but roomy enough to carry a wallet, make-up and brush. $38.00 Value
Africa Belt: Size medium 2″ Wide. This is what ties everything together. Fabulous with dresses and skirts of any length, and just as fabulous with pants, jeans or shorts – dressy or casual. $38.00 Value

Posted by: Joanna Smith on August 2, 2010 at 12:44 pm
Oh these Ankle Boots are just spectacular, so ultra cool and stylish! Based on the sizing you mentioned these boots will fit me perfectly and I love that they only have a 3″ heel because they are the best height to wear all the time without worry about tripping on your own two feet. I would wear these booties with my favorite Rock and Republic Jeans and a cute fringe boucle jacket when I am out and about town with friends, or running errands or just having some fun sporting around town. They are versatile in that you can wear them casually by day or you can wear them with dressier outfits when going out at night. I would wear these all the time because they are just my style! Thanks so much for the chance to enter.
