Materials that are labeled as 'vegan', or 'pleather' are actually polyurethane (PU) which is a plastic. We use only the highest quality natural materials that the earth has to offer with little to no plastics used in the making of our footwear. We use sustainable high-quality select leathers from Italian tanneries with natural metal shanks. Our heels are made of wood or leather with seldom exceptions of using plastic compound moulds. Our footwear is made of nearly all-natural components making it biodegradable.
