About Marzeri Milano

“The everlasting tradition of the Marche region is a testament to excellence.

What materials are used to make Marzeri Milano shoes?

According to the brand, they "pledge to use the most planet-friendly materials, thoroughly researching the best solutions for the lowest possible environmental impact." In keeping with this, their main materials are currently apple leather (Pellemela), grain leathers, and FSC® certified cork. They also use Alcantara, which is roughly 68% polyester and 32% polyurethane, although it is carbon-neutral. More information on the materials they use can be found on their materials page.

Are Marzeri Milano shoes eco-friendly/sustainable?

Marzeri Milano seems to make some of the most eco-friendly luxury and dress shoes we've come across. They put quite a bit of effort into using innovative plant-based materials in place of leather, and carbon-neutral, high quality materials in place of suede. Marzeri Milano also sources their materials close to where they produce their shoes (when possible), which cuts down on shipping efforts and emissions. They also use a made-to-order model, which is a very good way to cut down on excessive production and the resulting waste.

Does Marzeri Milano use green shipping methods?

It's unclear from their website if Marzeri Milano uses net-zero or negative emissions shipping partners, either domestically or internationally. We’ve asked them about any such initiatives, and are awaiting reply. We can say though, that where possible, the brand sources their materials (specifically Alcantara and Pellemela) from close to where their shoes are produced, which helps cut down on shipping emissions and other detrimental effects of shipping from afar.

Does Marzeri Milano use eco-friendly packaging?

It's unclear from their website if Marzeri Milano uses recycled, recyclable, compostable, or other forms of eco-friendly and sustainable packaging. We’ve asked them for details regarding the materials they use for packaging, and are currently awaiting reply.

Are Marzeri Milano shoes recyclable or compostable?

It’s unclear from the information available on their website if Marzeri Milano’s shoes are recyclable or compostable. We’ve asked for clarification from the Marzeri Milano team, and are currently awaiting reply.

How should I dispose of my worn out Marzeri Milano shoes?

We’ve asked the Marzeri Milano team if they currently have, or are developing, a shoe recycling program, and are awaiting reply. In the meantime, Get it Vegan recommends either trying to have them repaired, donating them to someone in need, or taking them to a clothing recycling depot (if available in your city), which can strip them down to their recyclable components.

Where can I buy Marzeri Milano shoes?

It looks like Marzeri Milano shoes can only be purchased from their website, or from their social channels. We've asked them if they have plans to work with retailers, and are currently awaiting reply.

Do Marzeri Milano shoes ever go on sale?

Marzeri Milano currently offers a 15% off discount code when signing up for their newsletter. They also offer a 40% discount to their "most loyal customers" when pre-ordering new styles. Marzeri Milano also has an Ethical Ambassador program that offers discounts on their shoes when posting about the brand on social channels.

Are Marzeri Milano shoes ethically made?

Yes - Marzeri Milano shoes are handcrafted in the Marche region of Italy, which means their labourers are protected by the stringent labour laws of the European Union, which also include strong health and safety regulations.

Does Marzeri Milano promote ‘slow fashion’ or a ‘circular economy’?

Marzeri Milano appears to incorporate several elements of a circular economy/slow fashion model, such as using a made-to-order production system, employing fair labour, sourcing materials close to their production facility, making timeless styles, and using innovative and natural materials.

Is Marzeri Milano a charitable company?

We’ve asked the Marzeri Milano team about any charitable initiatives they're involved with (if any), and are currently awaiting reply, as there is no such information available on their website.
