OUR STORY
INSPIRED BY WOMEN.
MADE FOR WARRIORS.
We're on a mission to make designer vegan shoes you want to wear because today's warriors should never have to sacrifice personal style for a more sustainable lifestyle. You deserve both.
FOUNDER & CHIEF WARRIOR
CREATING A NEW
KIND OF LUXURY
By 2014, Stacey Chang knew fashion could be cruelty-free and beautiful shoes could be made sustainably. When searches for designer vegan shoes only turned up crocs, birks and canvas sneakers, she was surprised by the lack of options for stylish non-leather dress shoes. It was clear designer footwear needed a reboot.
After spending time studying shoemaking construction in Italy and researching both manufacturing and sourcing companies across Europe and Asia, she found partners who were aligned with her vision. More committed than ever to create beautiful, ethically designed shoes that today’s mega-tasking and eco-conscious women would love, she launched VEERAH in 2016.
VEERAH /vē●rah/
Derived from veerabhadrasana, the Sanskrit word for the warrior pose yogis universally recognize.
Connect with your warrior spirit.
Today, VEERAH continues to be led by women, for women. With smart sourcing and thoughtful design behind each collection, all of our shoes are ethically made using only vegan, innovative materials - from apple leather to recycled plastic textile and more. Classic silhouettes are transformed with fully removable jewel-like accessories, giving versatility to each style and our customers a way to personalize and mix and match multiples looks with one pair of shoes. Designing this way creates more fashion with less of a fashion footprint.
Each day, the appreciation heard from eco-warriors around the world for designing beautiful shoes "that also happen to be vegan” fuels our team's innovation and drive to make sustainable and compassionate fashion the standard and not just the latest trend.
DESIGNING FOR
THE VEERAH WARRIOR
VEERAH denotes strength, courage, and balance. These attributes shine in a champion motivated by integrity and empathy - a warrior. We call our community the VEERAH warriors to recognize and embrace the warrior spirt within each of us, whose mission is to take up space in the world, conscientiously and compassionately - in style.
Inspired by so many great women, our warrior muse is always fierce-full and fearless. She takes bold strides, effortlessly mastering the balance between strength and femininity. This duality is woven into the fabric of our brand, embraced and upheld at every stage of production. We express this new kind of luxury as meticulous, conscientious, and cruelty-free beauty.
