Hot news from Taipei, Taiwan.

Colin Lin, a rather odd fashion designer has grown quite the business. Her market is shoes, but not just any shoes. Taiwan has had it’s trouble with piles of old newspapers growing across the streets. So Lin came up with the idea of creating shoes from the very newspapers that was thrown away.

The business has already sold over 4000 pairs since last year when it started. These shoes that helps the environment and are made of paper are not what you can call cheap. It takes quite the process, and lot’s of effort to make. Therefore prices range from 100-250 dollars!

Lin 50, contributing to recycling in her own way. Also driving others businesses to think in new ways. Soon we will have newspaper bags and newspaper dolls?
