Who says you can’t love shoes and love the planet?

ALDO is all about loving the planet! In order to demonstrate the brand’s commitment to utilizing sustainability practices, ALDO has launched their latest Love Planet collection, inclusive of fabulous footwear, handbags and accessories -all designed and produced using leading green technologies.

As a simple journey that began in 2013 with the adoption of a zero-waste philosophy, the brand is now dedicated to implementing green practices into future collections and campaigns. This brand-new sustainable assortment marks ALDO’s latest efforts in reducing its environmental footprint. To see just how far the Love Planet initiative has come, let’s take a look back in time to see how the brand has evolved.
