Sustainable Footwear Brands to Support

Having grown up between France and Italy, the creator of Capulette Capucine Lebrun wanted to highlight the talent of the craftsmen she admires. These Venetian slippers are available in a wide range of colors and fabrics. They can be worn indoors or outdoors and the soles are made from recycled bicycle tires. These shoes are also vegan because the end-product does not contain leather.

Roseanna is a brand that selects quality materials from responsible places. The brand incorporates plant-based alternatives to traditional tanning methods and implements sustainable denim production (getting rid of pumice stones, sodium hypochlorite, and potassium permanganate). She sources organic and/or recycled fabrics and any excess stock or fabric are donated to non-profit associations, schools, and capsule collections. Their boots and moccasins are particularly beautiful and made with high-quality materials and unique colors.

There is a vintage side to this brand and the absence of intermediaries allows it to invest in quality while maintaining affordable prices. Four times a year there is a seasonal collection and once a month a smaller and organized capsule. More than two-thirds of their models are produced in Europe. ¾ the brand's materials are environmentally friendly, more than half of its parts are certified, four of its lines are 100% ecological and more than 13,000 parts have been recycled. She also has a TOMORROW philanthropic program that supports dozens of charities and thousands of children.

If you are looking for something more sporty, Veja specializes in sneakers. The brand uses raw materials from fair trade and organic farming. The stock of the Parisian boutique and the online store is managed by ASF employees. She also checks the chemical safety of their sneakers every year to make sure all dangerous chemicals are removed from production processes.

Coclico has its materials manufactured by a family factory in Mallorca, Spain. The designs are created in New York City and the brand strives to meet the highest ethical and environmental standards.

Veerah aims to create durable and beautiful shoes. This brand is run by women, for women. All shoes are made ethically and using only vegan and innovative materials. Each model is versatile and elegant.
