Alexandre Birman Launches New Collection at the Intersection of Innovation and Luxury

The future of fashion is synonymous with sustainability and many brands have been taking major strides to keep up with the industry’s evolution, one of which is Alexandre Birman. The luxury shoe company has just released a new capsule collection of glorious stilettos, each made of beLEAF— a leather alternative made from from Elephant Ear plants produced by an organic tannery in Brazil called Nova Kaeru.

In addition to the fact that beLEAF is plant-based, the process to obtain the material is equally impressive, as it's derived in a manner that produces less CO2 compared to the production of animal-based textiles. The water used to alter the leaves is also repurposed to fertilize and irrigate the fields of plants surrounding the factory.

As for the capsule collection itself, artisanal craftsmanship brings about beautiful shades such as pistachio, unique features including crystal embellishments, and heels ranging in size from 50 mm to 120 mm. Overall, the collection which supports restorative efforts in Brazil symbolizes Birman’s commitment to eco-friendly practices.

To shop these stunning styles, visit alexandrebirman.com or shop in stores at any Alexandre Birman boutique. Furthermore, the collection will launch at a variety of retailers next month, including Saks Fifth Avenue and Shopbop.
