VEERAH

a line of vegan heels to put your best foot forward

My feet did a happy dance when I found these lovelies!! First, what an excellent idea to own a heel you can change to fit your outfit or mood. I'm all about versatility in my wardrobe, and I never imagined a heel that upheld this concept. With VEERAH, you can refashion the design in a 'snap' quite literally. The back of the shoe has a loop to fasten on an array of accessories - accessories you can later use as bracelets, necklaces, brooches & more. Besides the beautiful versatility, these heels are comfortable. From vegan leather to plant-based memory foam, these shoes can check off every requirement on a conscious consumer's list. Plus, it's a women-led company, and they work to empower women worldwide through their #VEERAHwarriors and education scholarships.

So, why choose a vegan, timeless & responsibly-made heel? The leather industry kills billions of animals annually {this is separate from even upcycling within the meat industry}. We throw stuff away - and I mean, a lot of things - & rid ourselves of 300 million pairs of shoes yearly. Most importantly, the fashion industry is the second most polluting industry in the world & we need to fix that for sustainability's sake. As someone who appreciates and values fashion}, supporting the brands that put the environment and society first is the only way we can change how the industry operates. We have that power, and VEERAH is just one of the beautiful conscious businesses making this all possible.

I've been known to be a bit textile-obsessed {my mom owns a fabric store, so I've been around it quite a bit}, and VEERAH has a great glossary on all the materials they use - even packaging! They use some of my favorites, like cork, organic cotton, and post-consumer PET bottle fabric.

With VEERAH, you can choose from four styles of heels and accessories. I'm a classic girl, so Audrey was my absolute favorite. The Mulan has a dramatic and glamorous stiletto, the Frida is a modern and sassy pointed-toe heel, and the Maya is chic with its kitten heel. Each style has its accessory, but you can always add more! See all the accessories below...

As mentioned, VEERAH is not just about the perfect responsible heel. They have a plan: the VEERAH Warriors 1-10-100 Battle Plan. With this, 1% of proceeds go towards social impact causes, and ten paid hours per month are given to employees to volunteer or take self-improvement courses. For every 100 customer interviews, they sponsor a one-year scholarship through She's the First. They believe education is critical to a bright future and a fearless generation.

My mom and I went to one of our favorite little towns for lunch a few weeks ago. Lyme Regis has the sweetest streets and cobblestone pathways. I walked around the town with ease - I can't say that for most of my heels! I know this is quite the bundle of photos, but the town was so easy to photograph.

I've been thinking about the next way I want to style my Audreys. I love mixing dark green & black, so I'm leaning toward the grass-green tassels!
