Today, I want to introduce a very special brand that is dedicated to creating the most stylish shoes, Italian made from eco friendly and vegan materials. Mink shoes offers a stunning collection with the highest quality from flats to heels made in the same factories that create Christian Louboutin, Chanel, Jimmy Choo, and Dolce & Gabbana. Rebecca Mink is credited with designing the first luxury vegan shoe on the market and has been creating for 16 years! Her shoes are stunning, fun, and sexy.
I discovered Mink Shoes after searching for vegan shoes on google actually. I was struck by the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and beauty of each Mink shoe. The entire selection is drool worthy. I am overjoyed to share with you Rebecca’s lovely brand story of Mink Shoes.
What inspired you to develop Mink Shoes?
I was inspired to develop Mink because I love animals so much. I was a celebrity stylist and could not find any options that were non leather for the red carpet in the year 2000. You cannot now! I started Mink because I did not want to harm animals or compromise on the style, fit or quality in my shoes. I created what did not exist. My goal is to shift the paradigm of the way people see non leather shoes. Typically non leather shoes are not made in Italy, cheaper quality, fit bad, and are not stylish. I wanted to make fabulous vegan shoes available. Mink is focused on luxury vegan shoes handmade in Italy.
Please explain your custom and made to order Mink vegan shoe options.
Custom Couture is my favorite! No one in the world does what we do at MINK! We offer a service where we hand make your dream shoes! We can make any shoe you want in Italy. We started offering this to vegan celebrity clients with performance or unique needs. We now find that most clients want customization and we are headed more in that direction.
Where can Mink shoes be purchased?
Mink shoes sell out very fast! It is exciting … we are growing and expanding because the demand for vegan shoes is getting higher. We sell in vegan boutiques across many continents. If you email us at info@minkshoes.com we can see total inventory available. We are expanding our online site to offer direct to consumer worldwide.
There are misconceptions about vegan products- in terms of quality and style. Please explain how Mink shoes are created and made and what you think will surprise a non vegan?
Mink shoes are the opposite to what you think of a vegan shoe. Mink shoes are made in Italy, stylish, comfortable, sexy and vegan. Most people think that vegan products are not attractive because many in the past have not been. The market is growing and so are the options. Over the 16 years I built MINK I have seen a massive growth in conscious consumers. Everything is going in this direction. Clients are becoming more aware and this is exciting!
Rebecca’s Favorites.
What is your favorite pair of Mink shoes?
I do not have one favorite Mink shoe. Because I am so close to design, development and production they are like my kids. I love them all equally. Each Mink shoe has a different mood.
What is your favorite beauty product?
My favorite beauty product is any vegan lipgloss with a wand applicator. I love my lipgloss!
What is your favorite clothing brand/label?
My favorite brand is Pucci. I am sad to say they are not vegan, but they do use many fabrics that are. I love color, shapes and the style of the 60’s. They do this the best!
Where is your favorite place to travel?
My favorite place to travel is on a boat to any Island that has warm water! I love to be in the sea. Islands and boating life is my happy place. 🙂
