Air & Grace launches its first ever Vegan Collection

British women’s footwear brand Air & Grace has launched its first ever Vegan Collection.

Approved by PETA, the new collection is made entirely from animal free materials and features five different trainer designs in Air & Grace’s "Cru" and "Alto" styles, available in a range of prints and colours including a leopard print high top for AW20, as well as two different espadrilles – handmade in Spain available now.

The summer espadrilles are priced at £99 and £129, and the trainer collection, handmade in Portugal, is available for pre-order from August with prices starting at £149.

The new Vegan Collection is being produced using Air & Grace’s "Tender Loving Air Comfort Technology", made up of three different layers of vegan memory and recovery foam cushioning and adhesives, “ensuring luxurious comfort.”

Air & Grace founder, Claire Burrows, said: “We designed the new Vegan Collection in response to popular customer demand for animal-free products.

“With veganism moving heavily into the mainstream, it felt only natural and in keeping with the Air & Grace ethos to provide not only vegans, but all women, with an offering that met consumer needs and combined a unique blend of considered comfort, quality and style – and true to Air & Grace, provided women with shoes that look great, feel great, and stand the test of time.”
