Did you know when wearing vegan leather it saves billions of animal lives every year? In this post you can read from what vegan leather is made of and who NAE is.
NAE means “No Animal Exploitation”, and stands for a fair, animal and environmentally friendly alternative. The Portuguese shoe brand combines high design with a high sense of responsibility towards animals and people. They do not use any animal products and cooperation only with comanpanys the have an employee-friendly philosophy.
The brand works with alternative leather materials. This includes materials such as piñatex, which are made from pineapple leaf fibers. Usually these leaves are thrown away, but here they are processed into a very durable material. The fibers that cannot be used are used as natural fertilizer for the fields. They also work with other materials such as cork, organic cotton and recycled pet. Their vegan leather consists of different microfibers and a mixture of nylon, polyester and cotton, which are recycled whenever possible.
In addition to the large range of vegan shoes, they also produce bags, belts and purses.
The shoes from NAE Vegan Shoes I wear are called Dylan and are lace-up boots made of vegan leather and a comfortable inner lining made of 100% organic cotton.
