To avoid impulse purchases that don’t benefit you we are determined to assist as much as we can during your decision making. Therefore, we are offering detailed product descriptions, sizing indications, styling advice and customer service. To find out whether a particular style of shoe will serve you well within your wardrobe you can then calculate its cost per wear.
OUR LEATHER.
For our shoes, our manufacturers source leather from advanced European tanneries, which are certified with the highest three-level certification by the Leather Working Group (LWG) – the Gold certification. The LWG is a non-profit organization dedicated to driving continuous improvements and transparency in the global leather manufacturing industry. The Gold certification is awarded to tanneries that pass a multi-day on-site audit demonstrating exemplary compliance with ecological standards. These standards cover the efficient use of water and energy, proper waste disposal, adherence to noise and air emission limits, traceability across the entire supply chain, employee health and safety and compliance with chemicals and regulated substances.
In addition to LWG certification, some of our tanneries also work with private environmental consultancy firms and voluntarily undergo additional audits. Last but not least, all the leather we use is finished with water-based, solvent-free products.
As simple as effective: We don’t waste materials and only use as much packaging as needed in order to keep your treasures safe and pretty. And the materials that we use are 100% free of plastic. Yippee! The best we’ve saved for last: Our shoe bags are truly one of a kind – made by hand locally in Germany using upcycled pre-owned cotton or linen sheets and recycled cotton cords.
WEAR OUT YOUR SHOES. NOT THE PLANET.
Love to wear & care! Your shoes will stay wearable, well-maintained, and beautiful for a long time if you care for them regularly. Detailed care instructions are available on the individual product pages and are included with every order. Should you have any questions about suitable care products or the right procedures, we are always happy to assist. For us, being responsible and sustainable is a continuous journey and we are eager to improve as we go.
OUR PACKAGING.
Simple and effective: We use only the necessary amount of packaging material to ensure that your treasures are shipped safely, neatly and beautifully. We rely on 100% plastic-free alternatives: Paper tape with natural rubber adhesive, compostable padding made from plant starch, unbleached, eco-friendly greeting and care cards and vegan stickers made from recycled paper. And the best part: Our shoe dust bags are unique – handmade from well-preserved cotton and linen sheets locally produced in Germany. They are sealed with recycled cotton cords and adorned with ceramic tags from a local workshop. Every order is shipped in a climate-neutral manner. We strive to make environmentally conscious decisions and continuously improve in this regard.
OUR CUSTOMER SERVICE.
Good for the environment, good for your wallet: To avoid impulse and often unnecessary purchases or returns, we prioritize supporting you in your decision-making process. We offer detailed product descriptions, precise sizing information, styling inspiration and personalized customer service. To help you assess whether a particular shoe will suit your wardrobe, you can calculate its cost-per-wear factor.
OUR COMMUNITY.
We love connecting with other independent labels and are grateful to have met so many amazing founders over time. In the spirit of sustainability and mutual support, we primarily use pieces from local designers and sustainable brands for our photoshoots, so we don’t make one-time purchases. If we can inspire you with unique looks that aren’t found everywhere and if you discover a new brand through this, we are especially happy!
When selecting other partners, such as influencers, we always ensure that our values, particularly around conscious consumption, are shared.
FROM THE HEART, SUSTAINABLE.
Before we forget: We would like to especially recommend our scrunchies made from 100% repurposed silk, cashmere and linen. Each one is handmade and their names are a tribute to the very special women in our lives. From the heart, sustainable!
