When a product has both the Duchess of Sussex and Katie Holmes's seal of approval, you best believe we're adding to cart faster than you can say "Markle Sparkle."

Rothy's, the sustainably sourced and ethically made shoe brand out of San Francisco, just launched a new collection of their beloved recycled-plastic shoes, and they sound like a warm hug for our feet.

Introducing the Merino Wool collection. Rothy's, the same brand Meghan Markle wore during her royal tour of Oceania last year and Holmes wore last week in NYC, is introducing its Point, Flat, Chelsea, Loafer and Sneaker silhouettes in the all new fabric.

It's a blend of sustainably-sourced Merino wool and Rothy's proprietary PET yarn that's made from recycled plastic water bottles, with a vegan leather outsole.

The new collection comes in a variety of new (read: #CozyGirlFall–approved) colors: charcoal black, cool emerald, dusty pink, muted taupe, rich plum, soft grey and dark brown.

Markle first wore her pair in Sydney, Australia, last October during her and Prince Harry's royal tour. No word yet on whether she'll don a Merino pair for an upcoming engagement...but we wouldn't be surprised.

Holmes wore the Point in Aubergine with a pink slip dress (and later, slipped on a blazer) last week for the Rothy's merino wool launch party, so needless to say we have our hearts (and toes) set on that pair specifically...

*Adds to Christmas list.*

Get the look: The Point ($175); The Loafer ($195); The Chelsea ($175); The Sneaker ($155); The Flat ($155)
