VIVAIA: A Sustainably Fashionable Footwear Brand

I recently had the opportunity to discover a new stylish and sustainable footwear brand Vivaia. They offer a multitude of different styles but are well known for their minimalist aesthetic. On top of this, Vivaia is committed to create a product in an environmentally responsable matter. In fact, their eco-friendly shoes are made by recycling discarded plastic bottles as the material. By having a pair of VIVAIA shoes, you recycle 6 plastic water bottles.

Bella in Light Khaki (beige type of color)

Not only are they sustainable but, by using 3-D technology to create their shoes, they are super comfy and, bonus, machine-washable. Yes, yes and yes you heard me, machine washable!!! As well, I often have issues with ordering shoes online with the sizing as I am usually an US 8.5-9 and many stores offer only US 8 or US 9. Their shoes were the perfect size for me when I sized up to a US 9 so be sure to pick the size a bit bigger if you are usually half size.

Giselle in Deep Ebony

I have received both the Giselle Shoes and the Bella Shoes and I am in love with the European vibe they give! Definitely my go to shoes for the summertime (and hopefully my next Europe trip)!

If you decide to check them out (here is the link to their website), be sure to use my code "LE" for 10% off at checkout!

Safe Travels!
