Enhance Your Style, Support a Charity
ReadyMade connected its community of talented artists with Birkenstock to raise money for the Soles4Souls charity, which donates shoes to adults and children in need worldwide. ReadyMade enlisted talented artists representing musicians, fashion designers, and well-known illustrators to give the iconic Birkenstock sandals their own individual spin.
You have the opportunity to own a unique and one-of-a-kind Birkenstock as well as help raise money for charity. Bid on one of these customized sandals on Birkenstock’s Facebook page starting on March 19, 2010.
