With many brands turning vegan, cruelty-free and eco-friendly, as consumers have no excuse to not do our part for the environment and our world. VIVAIA was founded to create stylish footwear that is sustainable, eco-friendly and responsible. With a focus on creating a positive impact, they have created a luxurious line of fashion-forward footwear with both exceptional quality and an affordable price range.
VIVAIA Materials & Sustainability
VIVAIA use discarded plastic bottles gathered from the ocean. At the factory, the plastic bottles are then cleaned up and cut into chips where the plastic is later extruded into spools of thread. These recycled spools of thread are then knit into the surface material for their poised shoes. The insoles are made with soft natural latex foam from rubber resin, creating a super lightweight feel and comfort on the foot. The soles are made using a carbon-free rubber, giving a flexible feel that is shock-resistant, odour-resistant and fungi-proof. The packaging is also made with 90% recycled cardboard with no artificial colour and has been designed with a handle to later be used as a carry-able container for small items! I love using my container for cosmetics when we’re on a road trip!
Here are 3 of my favourite styles for this season…
Moira Lace-Up Sneakers
The Moira Lace-Up Sneakers have a classic round toe with the comfort and lightweight feel of modern technology. The cream ivory color makes this pair of shoes so versatile and elegant as they can compliment almost every outfit, from a casual sweatsuit to a sophisticated blazer and jeans. The sneakers are designed with an environmentally-friendly natural herbal insole that sports a breathable Lycra fabric with a gorgeous zebra-patterned upper shell. These shoes have been awesome on vacation and are my go-to when I want comfort and style while shopping or running errands!
Lauren Round-toe Sandals
These round-toe sandals speak both comfort and fashion to me. The bold retro-inspired design is ideal for comfort and ease with the high instep and the wide fit. The sandals feature a hollow weave knit pattern and a beautiful lace flower embellishment at the vamp with a non-slip, durable rubber outsole. I love wearing this lightweight, ultra-comfortable slip-on sandals for almost everything from grocery runs to travel! The tan russet color gives the shoes a casual vibe, perfect for pairing with jeans.
Aurora Pointy Heels
And, now for my favourite pair! These unique heels boast elegance, sophistication, and classic style, all in one. The shoes feature a comfortable 45mm mid-height block heel and a classic pointy toe design. The Aurora’s are designed with a blend of herbal insoles and multi-spandex, allowing these heels to be breathable, deodorizing, wear-resistant, and non-slip. The adorable knit bow at the instep pairs perfectly with the timeless houndstooth print, making these heels ideal for any formal occasion. These shoes are also great for work and will elevate any office outfit!
