Louis Vuitton Sustainable Vegan Sneakers Review

With the release of its new Charlie shoes, Louis Vuitton joined the fashion brands that use the principles of sustainability. 

Eco-design

The materials used in the design of sneakers are sustainable and environmentally friendly. The shoes, for example, use corn plastic, as a material. Furthermore, the soles contain more than 90%  of reprocessed rubber. In addition, the packaging uses recycled cardboard.

The sneakers are the first “eco-friendly”  model from Louis Vuitton. Moreover, it’s the first brand’s unisex model. 

Other brands 

In fact, plant-based footwear isn’t a new concept for the world of fashion. The designers of Chanel and Hugo Boss have already utilized Pinatex – a plant-based leather, made of pineapple fibers.

Gucci updated the luxury market earlier this year. The house introduced Demetra, a brand-new breakthrough material. This material blends durability and softness without affecting the environment.

The Charlie sneakers price is a moderate  $1,080  for a low-top model.  The high-top model is priced at $1,130.
