World's Most Expensive Flip-Flops

Filed Under: Fashion Smashion Inspiration Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!

As if designer shoes weren’t expensive enough, now flip-flops have joined the high-end line. Sort of.

Chipkos has just released a one-of-a-kind pair of sandals said to be worth $18 $18,000!

The flip-flops were hand-painted by El Lay artist David Palmer and are being sold to help raise money to protect 100,000 square feet of endangered rain forest land.

At the same time, Chipkos is introducing their newest line of eco-friendly sandals which will reportedly protect one hundred square feet of the rain forest for each one sold.

Chipkos' Chief Nature Ambassador, Priya Jaggia, reveals:

"We believe that people are ready for a wearable badge to express their support for nature conservation.”

Fashion and charity? Nice.
