Looking for eco-friendly shoes? Locals launch new line
Two Bakersfield women are making a name for themselves with their line of eco-friendly shoes. Irene Clancy and Janel Garcia launched Greenbees in February. Greenbees shoes are made using full grain leather, treated using a formaldehyde-free method. The soles of the shoes are made of recycled tire. “We wanted to bridge the gap between something that is stylish and eco-friendly,” Clancy said. Greenbees shoes are sold in boutiques in San Francisco and Culver City. Here in town, they can be found at Fashionista, 2001 H St. According to the company’s Web site, www.shopgreenbees.com, the six styles of boots and sandals range in price from $45 to $298. — Katie Steiner, staff writer
