We are committed to creating a new kind of luxury that is conscientious and cruelty-free. Leading innovation with compassion is our golden rule.
DO GOOD + LOOK INCREDIBLE
PURSUING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs)
To contribute to the achievement of the United Nations' SDGs, a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all, we have prioritized these 3 goals.
Goal 12:
RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION & PRODUCTION
Smart Design
Through versatile and interchangeable accessories, VEERAH is able to transform a single pair of shoes into an entire collection, empowering women to maximize our fashion looks while minimizing fashion footprint.
RESPONSIBLE MANUFACTURING
We form long-term partnerships with factories that pay fair wages. We increase their education by sharing industry best practices and encourage upstream facilities to reduce waste.
Goal 14:
LIFE BELOW WATER
Sustainable Sourcing
To reduce environmental impact, we avoid the use of plastic bags. Whenever possible, we opt to use recycled plastic bottles from product to packaging.
Goal 15:
LIFE ON LAND
100% Cruelty-Free & Vegan
No animals are harmed in the process of making our shoes and accessories.
Design & Material Innovation
We continuously search and uncover revolutionary, cruelty-free and eco-conscious materials without compromising an ounce of quality or aesthetics.
OUR MATERIALS
The global leather industry slaughters more than a billion animals each year and the chromium that is used for tanning leather is the world’s fourth-worst toxic pollutant. We are continuously researching new, natural, and sustainable materials that minimize the harm to the environment and are always cruelty-free and PVC free.
APPLE PEEL SKIN LEATHER
USDA certified bio-based vegan leather material is a byproduct of the apple juice industry. The repurposing of apple skin keeps them from decomposing and producing methane that contributes to climate change.
Water-based vegan leather
No toxic solvent dimethylformamide (DMF) that is commonly used for making polyurethane synthetic leather. This process reduces energy consumption by 55% and uses 95% less water than the DMF process.
ReNEWED Plastic Bottle FABRIC
About 5 to 9 500ml PET bottles are recycled to craft one pair of VEERAH shoes, greatly reducing the amount of waste going into landfills.
100% ORGANIC COTTON LINING
The soft and breathable organic cotton is safer for growers, using less energy and producing 94% less greenhouse gas emissions.
APPLE PEEL SKIN LEATHER
A bio-based vegan leather material derived from organic apples grown in the Italian Alps.

100% Organic Cotton Lining
The soft and breathable organic cotton is safer for growers, using less energy and producing 94% less greenhouse gas emissions.
Microfiber Lining
This breakthrough material is highly absorbent, breathable and quick-drying with a superior hand feel.
Algae Insole
An insole that gives incredible comfort and long-term support, environmentally friendly, highly breathable, and antimicrobial.
NEO-PATENT VEGAN LEATher
This innovative, glossy material is soft yet durable, and lightweight. During the process for the production of this leather, substances are combined without having to use toxic DMF (Dimethylformamide) or water. Through DMF elimination, it uses 92% less water, 80% less energy, and emits 93% less VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) than traditional synthetic leather.
Other Vegan Leather
These soft and substantial materials are wrinkle-free and water-resistant. It far exceeds the European REACH standards on toxic substances.

These soft and substantial materials are wrinkle-free and water resistant. It far exceeds the European REACH standards on toxic substances.
OUR PACKAGING
While it is ultimately VEERAH’s goal to have 100% recyclable packaging, we are proud to share that 85% of our packaging materials use post-consumer materials and 71% are recyclable, but 100% reusable.
SHOEBOX
Our beautifully designed shoeboxes are made from 80% post-consumer chipboard.
Dustbag
Each VEERAH bag is made from 4 to 5 500ml bottles which means less landfill waste and ocean pollution.
Soy Ink
In sharp contrast to traditional petroleum-based ink, soy-based ink is renewable, biodegradable and free of toxic materials.
Recycled Paper
All the paper from communication materials to stuffing paper are all made from post-consumer paper.
