Join Our World
Where glamour meets sustainability. Our heels are crafted using vegan leather derived from apple waste, ensuring that a minimum of 25% of the material is repurposed. But that’s not all; our linings are thoughtfully fashioned from recycled plastic bottles and corn fiber. From head to toe, our vegan heels are sustainably produced and entirely recyclable. This includes the heels and soles, which are made from recyclable plastic and steel.
We’re not just committed to sustainable materials; we’re also dedicated to ethical manufacturing practices. That’s why we’ve partnered with a Polish shoemaker – a treasured family business located in a small village near Krakow. With nearly a century of expertise, they bring an unparalleled passion for shoes, resulting in the creation of exquisite, high-quality vegan shoes, using a variety of materials and designs.
Based in Dreumel, The Netherlands, Empress of Heels embodies the spirit of sustainability, elegance, and innovation. Join us in our journey to make a statement with every step, minimizing our fashion footprint without sacrificing style.
