Ethical Footwear? Voes & Co’s Plant-Powered Chelsea Boots Have Got You Covered

NEW YORK CITY, May 8, 2023 /Vwire/ Desiree Dupuis, the founder of Voes & Co, is changing the game in the fashion industry, launching a brand new line of boots made from a material that is as kind to the planet as it is stylish. The Vancouver-born business owner created her Chelsea Boots made from cactus leather while traveling as a digital nomad over the last few years. She is currently in NYC for the launch.

Voes & Co is one of the first brands to use cactus leather for footwear, and it’s a game-changer. Not only is it more sustainable than traditional leather, but it’s also one of the most similar to animal-derived leather in texture and feel.

Desiree’s mission-driven approach is what sets Voes & Co apart from other brands. While there are already vegan leather shoes on the market, they’re mostly made entirely from PU plastic-based materials. Voes & Co, on the other hand, is dedicated to focusing on plant-based materials, and eventually becoming completely plastic-free. The cactus leather used in the Chelsea Boots is just the beginning – Desiree plans to use a variety of plant-based materials for future styles.

What’s more, cactus leather requires only a fraction of the water needed to make traditional leather. In fact, Collective Fashion Justice has estimated that a traditional leather handbag would require 164,650% more water to make than a cactus leather handbag. Cactus leather is also made without pesticides, herbicides, or any toxic chemicals. With Voes & Co, fashion and sustainability finally go hand-in-hand.

These boots are perfect for anyone looking to make conscious purchasing decisions without sacrificing style. Desiree’s innovative approach to fashion is paving the way for a more ethical and sustainable industry. By choosing Voes & Co, you’re not just getting a designer product – you’re joining a revolution.
