Carmona Collection
We are Carmona Collection, plant-based shoes hand-made in Mexico, with Cactus Leather.
We are a slow-fashion company and the material we use in all of our footwear is a soft, sustainable and partially organic product that replaces the use of animal leather and synthetics that harm the environment, we use the cactus vegan leather of Desserto-Pelle. We opted for a hand-made process to support artisans in our city and reduce waste from industrialized processes. Each pair is made with great care, while we take care of the people who make them. We celebrate Mexican design and products, that is why all the materials we use in each pair of CARMONA shoes are produced in Mexico.
Founded by three sisters in León Guanajuato, where making shoes is a tradition, Carmona Collection is an innovative and responsible brand since their origins. We worked in the shoes industry for three years before launching our own brand, we saw all the problems of the fast fashion production of shoes in firsthand, so when we visualize our brand, we decided we were going to create a responsible brand with the people and the planet, since the beginning.
Carmona is the last name of our grandma, who teach us to sew and to work hard, so with the strength and wit of three generations, today we join the ecological revolution, integrating sustainable and innovative materials into our footwear designs.
We promote veganism, sustainability and social responsibility.
