Before anyone reminds us that we are a food magazine! We<br />
decided to make an exception for these beautiful Vegan shoes<br />
Fresh Vegan had to ask Alicia a few questions about her inspiring funky<br />
shoe company.<br />
FV: Congratulations on a first class collection Alicia, about time we<br />
had modern vegan shoes in the UK. Please tell our readers what<br />
your background is, are you a designer as I see these are made in<br />
Portugal, and why Portugal?<br />
Thank you very much indeed!<br />
I love shoes but I found it incredibly difficult to find shoes that were<br />
fashionable, ethically made and also represented my own ethics and<br />
beliefs as a vegan. So in 2005 BoBo was born!<br />
My background is as a health professional so I did not have a clue about<br />
shoe construction or design so it was a steep learning curve to get myself<br />
up to speed on the complexities of shoe manufacturing and sourcing of<br />
materials and components.<br />
In regards to our designs, I spend days in shoe shops, wow what a hard<br />
job, researched and worked together with my shoe designer. Our aim<br />
was to have our own signature designs topped off with subtle details<br />
of our fabulous lotus flower and I hope that our customers will love our<br />
collection as much as we do!<br />
FV: What makes Bourgoeis Boheme shoes ethical?<br />
We have worked hard on our range to ensure it is of the highest quality<br />
in every sense plus style and ethics. No animal products are used in<br />
our production. We use the best Italian faux leathers and eco-friendly<br />
materials available.<br />
BoBo’s footwear ranges are handmade in Portugal. As a business it is<br />
imperative to be transparent with what we do which is why we chose<br />
Portugal as our manufacturing base. The factories have been handpicked and I personally visit them throughout the<br />
year. It is important for us to have an ethical product with transparency in its production. Our footwear reflects an<br />
investment to upholds our ethical ideals in regards to people, animals, the environment and of course feet.<br />
