Don't toss those old Levi's just yet



Everyone has a favorite pair of jeans that just won't fit anymore. Whether they're too big, too small, or too holey to wear in public without getting arrested, don't throw them away just yet.

RecycleYourJeans is a UK-based company that will turn those old blues (or pinks, or greens) into a pair of funky Birkenstock-looking sandals for about 45 pounds (about 90 US$). Simply send 'em your duds, and in 7-10 days, you'll receive your new pair of sandals (only up to side 8 in ladies, unfortunately). Other than the recycled denim, all the sandals include are polyurethane soles, metal buckles, and thread.

And if you don't want to part with your precious pants, don't despair: RecycleYourJeans also sells "off the shelf" shoes, made from surplus jeans from High Street, as well as sells hemp sandals.

Sadly, the company only ships to the UK right now, so all of us Yanks will have to wait to own our own jean-tastic recycled sandals.
