Proud to work with Eco innovators in every step of our production process, we plant one tree for every pair sold, and use minimum, recyclable packaging. We work with chrome free leather, and award winning biodegradable leather from Carvalhos, which bio degrades in 6 months, so make sure your dog doesn't bury your bio slipper in the garden....! Our vegan Salvanas are made from European Industry standard PU vegan leather and we are currently in development with Vegea who make leather from recycled grape waste collected from Italian vineyards outside Milan. Unfortunately in 2022, no vegan leather is biodegradable due to the need for a polyurethane coating to hold the fibers together, there is also a limited supply ~ we're literally waiting for grapes to grow and nature hurries for no man. But rest assured, we are on it.... our future aim is to produce solely from waste products and to leave no footprint. Salvanas believe style and comfort should not cost the Earth.
