Veerah
When Stacey Chang WG12 noticed that many high-end shoe brands were focused on “fast fashion” at the cost of sustainability, she was determined to make a shoe that was comfortable, attractive, durable, and eco-friendly. Launched two years ago, Veerah’s shoes are 100 percent vegan from heel to toe, made from materials like cork, PET bottle fabric, and the peels from apples handpicked in Italy. Each pair comes with an accessory that can be worn in different ways— attached to the shoe or as a bracelet, necklace, or brooch—to increase outfit variation with a minimum of products. Not only is Veerah committed to cruelty-free fashion; the company supports nonprofit organizations such as She’s the First, which promotes gender equality through education.
