These (Vegan Leather) Heels Are Made For Struttin'

Summertime and the living is easy. Icon Ella Fitzgerald couldn’t have said it better. Bring on all of the summer essentials: linen dresses, oversized sun hats, and strappy heels.

Well, looking at my closet, it sort of missed the strappy heel memo. After going vegan, I made the decision to buy products with only man-made materials. That’s right, no leather or suede. While my decision felt sound to me, deep down I knew it would be a challenge to find faux leather/suede shoes, no matter the season or trend, in most stores or websites I would visit.

In today’s digital world, it can be daunting at times to sort through the surplus of products that flood our browsers and feeds. In an unexpected moment, I found exactly what I’ve been looking for—a hidden gem right in my Instagram feed. A big thank you to the Irish fashionista Tar Mar (@tarmarz) who tagged this lovely brand and essentially paved the way for me to find the perfect selection of ethical, summer heels.

Located in New York, Shop-Peche is a Brooklyn based women’s vintage and contemporary store. Each shoe is crafted from vegan leather, a true godsend. I definitely recommend taking a look as they have a ton of cute styles in a multitude of colors. Truly perfect for the summer!
