More about NOAH Italian Vegan Shoes

Luxury vegan shoes of Italian design

With the gems from NOAH Italian Vegan Shoes, you’ll leave a big impression and a small carbon footprint. Italy may be world-famous for its shoe craftsmanship – but the award-winning and PETA certified NOAH takes that tradition and brings it into the future. This holistic concept lets you wear top class Italian design while supporting an ethically responsible and sustainable way of doing business. Fun fact: although the shoes are made in northern Italy, this lovely company is located in our neighboring country, Germany. Read on and discover why NOAH is one of our favorite brands.

Style + ethics = NOAH

NOAH makes beautiful Italian shoes and passionately proves that this is possible without harming our environment, animals or people. NOAH combines high-quality, chic Italian fashion with their sincere belief in a sustainable economy.

Skilled Italian shoemakers work on their small-scale collections and do so under fair conditions. The brand has created a sustainable environment for its employees. It supports local Italian shoemakers and pays them a fair salary. As the makers themselves say: "Our customers' satisfaction is important to us, but equally so we want the people who make our shoes to be happy, too."

The brand uses vegan materials that are made from synthetic microfibers. These plant-based materials are lightweight, durable, breathable, water-resistant and also suitable for people with allergies.

This holistic concept has been certified by PETA and the Vegan Society, which has also awarded NOAH the 'Green Product Award'. PETA even awarded their vegan ankle boot 'Dora' the 'Best Fashion Award 2014' in the 'Best Ladies Shoe' category. And it doesn't stop at ankle boots: luxury heels, sneakers, chic men's shoes, boots, flat shoes, lace-up shoes, shoes for under a business outfit, sandals and even belts, purses, bags, hats, gloves and scarves are also available in NOAH’s product range.

Plant-based materials that make leather obsolete

As a brand, NOAH stands for responsible consumption by combining beautiful Italian design and sustainable production. For example, you will not find any leather in the collection of this ‘eco-chic’ brand. High-quality micronappa, microsuede, cork, organic hemp, natural rubber, linen, cotton and, for the most part, recycled materials. The microfibers that they use are not only extremely beautiful and hardly distinguishable from animal leather, but also lightweight, durable, breathable, water-repellent, hypoallergenic and completely free of toxins.

The makers prefer firm stitching, but for the few times they have to use glue, they choose a water-based glue that contains no animal-derived ingredients and does not require solvents.

Big steps, small footprint

Ethical footwear with a heart, that’s what these shoemakers are offering. If you visit their website, you will see the figures about the impact of the leather industry right in front of you, so don’t take their word for it. Do the research and draw your own conclusions. "Think about it: just one small step and you can tread more light-footedly and with more love for animals throughout the world – with vegan shoes from NOAH!" If that statement, combined with their beautiful designs, isn’t convincing, then what is?
