Saint Francis Couture designs and manufactures high fashion, animal friendly shoes, accessories, and they are now introducing apparel.  The company's founder and designer is Tere Albanese.  Tere is a vegetarian who eats nothing with a face or heart and refuses to wear anything made from animals.  She is a former hair stylist and high school English teacher.  "I thought the world needed some high fashion, moderately priced, comfortable, but sexy, shoes and accessories that were cruelty free," said Tere.  "So I started drawing.  Saint Francis must have helped me because I had no idea how to draw."  The company is named after Saint Francis, who is the patron saint of animals.  Her first line is the Africa Collection, which honors African Wildlife.  This month's featured product is the Africa Sandal 3" Heel.  This sexy sandal will turn heads, but the way it feels you’ll think you were wearing flip-flops.  6 - 12 in whole and half sizes.
