Unusual clothes and upcycled sandals
‘Eating the Goober’ is a fresh Athens based brand of clothing and upcycled slide sandals.
What Eating the Goober means?
‘Super goober’ was the magic peanut that would miraculously transform Goofy, the cartoon character, into “Super Goof”. Metaphorically, “Eating the Goober” represents the effort to reveal our very own superhero alter ego. It surely takes a little more than scoffing a peanut to find our untapped strengths, but wearing something unique and unusual seems like a good way to start. We believe that everybody has their own distinctive ‘super goober’. It’s just a matter of realizing it and eating it.
Philosophy
We support the global sustainable fashion movement by respecting humans , animals & environment. Our production is made locally, manufactured by craftsmen with fair treatment of workers at every stage of production. We use high quality materials and we never use animal leather nor silk. We love upcycling and the process of creating something new out of what is considered as waste by others.
E+he G clothes
The designs unite minimalism, geometry and a trace of Japanese influence, combined with androgynous style. Elements of the clothing inspired by traditional male attire are blended with feminine, asymmetric motifs. Most of the outfits can be combined in more than one way, encouraging each woman to be as creative and unique as she feels.
