Stripped back essentials. Forms that flatter. Design that draws you in from the moment you lock eyes.

 

In case you missed it, we launched our ‘Essential Collection’ of vegan shoes which holds simplicity at its forefront earlier this month.

Move away from the chaotic noise that is society (it can be sole-destroying) and head into a minimal world where only the necessary is present. Let go of a cluttered mind, untidy spaces, and needless belongings to make your life a cleaner and more empowered place to be.

The Essential Collection was made with you, and the planet in mind. It focuses on bringing stylish, sustainable  products to the table so that nature and fashion can thrive alongside each other. We want you to better connect with the environment around you by living with only the essentials. 

So, let’s introduce you to the new kicks on the block.

 

Meet Jackie

 

The Queen of elegance, Jackie epitomizes that blue-sky dream in the comfort of a practical Neolite sole. These sustainable block heel vegan sandals are made of organic cotton (GOTS certified). Organic cotton is much better for the planet than regular cotton, since it is planted, irrigated, and harvested in a responsible and natural way removed from pesticides and genetic modification.

A delicate collision of comfort and effortless style, Jackie’s OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified microfiber footbed is also hypoallergenic, antibacterial and antimicrobial. These Womens Vegan Sandals, also available in beige, are a responsible must have.

 

Meet the Cork Selection. Raw and Radiant

 

As one of our favorite materials, Cork features across shoes for women and shoes for men within our new empowering collection. Cork is 100% sustainable, biodegradable and recyclable. It has a negative carbon footprint, since a cork oak tree acts as a carbon sink, meaning it accumulates and stores carbon. And since the process to extract the material is non-invasive, making our vegan shoes has never felt more important.

With simplicity at the heart of these vegan shoes, they encapsulate adaptability to any occasion. Dante, the men’s cork shoes, are a classic Derby shoe with a high resistance to water and are perfectly breathable (super handy for the inevitable summer heat). These vegan shoes feature plain weaving stripes at the vamp, Neolite rubber soles and vegan waxed cotton laces.

Within the new cork shoes for women, Lina, Leen, and Zoe bring a new tactile dimension to vegan shoes. Embroidered in cotton onto the natural cork is an intricate floral masterpiece, mixing together themes of beauty and nature to create contemporary, sustainable fashion. Whether it’s Lina the feminine mid heel, Leen the ballerina flats with a securing ankle strap, or Zoe, the flat mule, these stylish raw cork shoes radiate the value of the necessary.

 

Meet Bay & Karia. Your new best friends

 

What better way to a more practical, simpler and sustainable lifestyle than with a classic vegan sandal. Bay and Karia will bring durability to your life, allowing you to let go of unnecessary belongings and better connect with those around you.

These unisex vegan sandals represent the importance of quality over quantity as their ability to adapt to any outfit choice reflects their prolonged wearable-life. Perfectly thought out, they can be worn indoors or outdoors!

 

Bay, the vegan sliders, are innovatively made of Piñatex (pineapple leaf fibers) available in black and off-white, or a stylish brown is available in cork. The two strap vegan sandals known as Karia are also made of Piñatex, offering their minimalist walk of life to your summer wardrobe. Envisage sunset beach walks, daytime at the poolside, or lounging around the city in the sun for these vegan sandals.

All lined with an OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certified microfiber, which helps to prevent the development of odors. The footbed, made of cork and natural rubber provides both comfort and arch support simultaneously. Just as they couldn’t get any eco-friendlier, the soles are even made of recycled car tires!

 

Meet Jor. Run away with nature

 

Create a practical lifestyle in free spaces with Jor, the unisex running sneaker made with recycled plastic bottles (GRS Certified). Navigate a more sustainable lifestyle by taking some time for yourself and looking after the planet at the same time. Let your feet carry you into the gratification and serenity of the natural environment. 

The Re-PET vegan sneakers are perfect for outdoor activities and running with their EVA light soles and polyester laces. They challenge the norm, powering you to move with minimal carbon footprint. Available in black or white, they have simplicity at their heart.

 

So why not join us on a journey to a better tomorrow?
