WHY TO BUY: ALOHAS is a fashion brand from Spain with sustainability at its core. Their main goal is to stop overproduction and its negative impact on the environment by changing the way people shop.

Their pre-order business model allows them to forecast demand levels prior to production, so they only make what you actually want to buy. Good things come to those who wait and don’t waste! All shoes are designed in Barcelona and handcrafted in Alicante. They rely on trusted artisans in nearby workshop facilities who believe in sustainability and ethical manufacturing. They’re committed to keep our production local to ensure that labor conditions and quality standards are in line with our values.

WHAT WE LOVE: Designed in Barcelona and made in Spain, with Luke ballet flats you will feel like French in the hyper-femme way. Paying homage to the iconic Mary Jane shape, they are designed with parallel straps at the arch and polished soft gold buckles adding extra shine to the glossy patent leather.

The best thing about this black pair, though, is that they are arguably a style icon, making them a great investment piece. Go for the classic vibe with a collared dress and some ruffled socks.

WHY TO BUY: Dive into the Ethical and Eco values of fashion with the revolutionary 8000Kicks Explorer – a testament to sustainability and style seamlessly intertwined. Crafted from the world’s most sustainable fiber, these 100% hemp shoes and accessories redefine eco-conscious fashion, offering a daily wardrobe choice that champions the planet.

Introducing the Explorer, the inaugural masterpiece from 8000Kicks, meticulously designed and engineered in Portugal. It’s not just a shoe; it’s a stride towards a greener, more responsible future.

WHAT WE LOVE: At the heart of 8000Kicks is an extraordinary startup saga – an unexpected blend of humor, innovation, and sheer awesomeness. Picture this: Bernardo, the co-founder, returns to Portugal in 2017 with the vague notion of a new project. One night, amid laughter and a touch of inspiration, the concept of a shoe for smoking takes root – a 5-in-the-morning kind of idea that sparks brilliance.

Bernardo, undeterred, enlists the most unlikely collaborator – his grandmother, Otilia, a textile virtuoso with over 50 years of experience. Together, they embark on a year-long odyssey, collaborating with suppliers worldwide. The result? The world’s first waterproof hemp shoe, transcending the ordinary and creating an entirely new category in casual sustainable footwear.

WHY TO BUY: MARZERI MILANO is synonymous of responsible elegance. The combination of timeless design and ethical craftsmanship results in footwear that not only elevates your style but also aligns with your values. With a carefully designed anatomically pre-formed insole and durable rubber soles, these boots offer exceptional comfort and longevity while echoing the essence of Italian craftsmanship and cruelty-free elegance.

WHAT WE LOVE: Exemplifying MARZERI MILANO’s ethos of luxury vegan footwear, the Chukka Boots are a testament to Italian artisanship. Crafted by skilled hands in Italy, these boots are meticulously shaped from exquisite Italian vegan leather in a rich, dark brown hue. The deep, lustrous color is achieved through meticulous hand-finishing, resulting in a unique patina that adds character and depth to each pair.

WHY TO BUY: The vegan label Anne Schollenberger combines design and luxury with animal welfare, sustainability and environmental awareness. The handbags, shoes and hats by ANNE SCHOLLENBERGER are made from vegan cactus leather. It is a soft, adaptable and breathable material. The production of cactus leather saves 164,650% water and 1,864.02% greenhouse gas emissions compared to animal leather.

WHAT WE LOVE: These beautiful vegan sneakers are made from vegan cactus leather. The exclusive collection is manufactured in small factories in Portugal and is PETA-Approved.
