Product information

This product is made of olive leather.

Olive Leather emerges from the olive pulp produced during olive oil manufacturing in Turkey. Unlike materials like PLA derived from resources with nutritional value, olive leather steers clear of such resources, enhancing the value of its bio-based composition.

Choosing olive leather over petroleum-based materials significantly reduces reliance on non-renewable resources. By doing so, support is extended to the olive industry, effectively repurposing waste that otherwise lacks alternative uses and would linger in nature for centuries.

The entire process involved in the creation of olive leather, from raw material production to the final product, occurs within a compact 100km radius. This localized production significantly minimizes the carbon footprint. It is durable, soft, and high-quality.

See our materials page for more information.

All orders except planners and stationary products are delivered to cargo within 2 working days. Planners and stationary products will be shipped until 20 December.


Shipping Time: 1-5 Days

To use your shoes for a longer time, please pay attention to the following:

Protect your shoes from excess sun or heat, moisture, and harsh cleaning products, including alcohol-based ones. Gently wipe your shoes with a damp cloth, and never wash them in the washing machine.

If you're not wearing a summer collection, do not wear your shoes with bare feet. Always be sure to wear the right socks.

You can use a shoe polish made for animal-based leather. It works on plant-based leather as well.

Avoid getting your shoes extremely wet. If they get wet, avoid exposure to direct sunlight or heat sources like radiators. Let them dry at room temperature without closing them in a box.

When storing your shoes, use a shoe tree or crumpled paper to avoid folding or pressing and to protect the structure.

Over time, cracks and scratches may occur naturally due to use. This happens because of the nature of all materials.

The "one day apart" rule, which is valid for all leather shoes, is also useful for plant-based leather shoes. Wearing your shoes on alternate days will help them last longer and prevent them from smelling.

Thank you for reading and caring about this guide! We can't wait to take the first steps of the revolution together.
