Tina Bhojwani: They Don't Look Vegan

"The idea is that we take and take and take from the planet. And we've been taking and there's all this talk about how can we get to neutral? And our company wanted to do something a little bit differently. We wanted to give back more than we were taking." – Tina Bhojwani

Tina Bhojwani is the co-founder and CEO of AERA, a luxury vegan footwear brand. In a past life, she held key leadership roles at global brands including Donna Karan, Theory and was President of Dolce & Gabbana North America.

Having spent over two decades in the fashion world, Tina's had front row seats to fashion's impact on the planet as well as on people and animals.

AERA is her answer to how the fashion world (and those of us who frequent it) can do better. All of AERA's components are made from non-animal ingredients, they use as many eco-friendly materials as possible, ensuring that the end result is of the highest quality, and are committed to evolving their materials, with the ultimate goal to one day be able to create a shoe with zero environmental impact.

"Our shoes are certified Vegan. We went to great lengths to ensure that all components are made from non-animal ingredients, yet still maintain the quality and style expected from a luxury shoe." - Tina Bhojwani

They're also stunning, insanely comfortable and, as Tina likes to point out, "they don't look vegan."

Please listen and share and check out AERA's shoes.
