Mohop Love

Mohop shoes offer infinite possibilities. They have to be intricately laced and tied up with care. They bend to one’s whim. They are fun and sexy.  The eco-friendly design allows the wearer to virtually create a new shoe that suits her mood on a daily basis.
They are never boring and they can always be made to match an outfit. While I would have been sold on these shoes regardless, Annie Mohaupt, the talented
Chicago-based Mohop-master, shoe designer extraordinaire, has managed to tie in something even more beautiful: empowering women and eradicating poverty. She is now offering pairs of recycled saree ribbons made by Jhoole to complement her shoes; not only do they look amazing, but 100% of sales will go towards a Jhoole computer lab that will offer classes free of cost to women and girls below the poverty line.
