The wine industry in Italy produces tons of wine every year, with wine waste usually being thrown away.
The grape waste is recycled and mixed with bio-PU and recycled polyester to create a leather-like material. By using plant-based products and mixing them with recycled PU, not only is the production of new plastics stopped, but the earth is freed of waste products that
at the same time receive a new life.

Vegan sneakers vs leather sneakers

> fewer CO2 emissions.
> fewer PO4 emissions.

I would like to introduce myself briefly, my name is Viola. My dream has always been to set up my own fashion brand. During my master's degree, I realized that I had to tackle this project. My first products were shoelaces, in different colors and materials. What would go better with shoelaces than sneakers? From the beginning, it was important to me to have vegan sneakers produced. I also wanted to get to know my producer personally and the people behind the production, so I spontaneously booked a flight to Porto, Portugal, to realize my sneakers and get to know the production of the sneakers first hand.
