Atlantis ~ Vegan shoes by Olsenhaus

I discovered New York-based Olsenhaus when searching for stylish vegan shoes in LA a couple of years ago. They really stood out in terms of style and quality, and the more I discovered about the company the more hooked – ok, obsessed – I became. Even now, ethical practice within the shoe industry at large is basically unheard of, and Elizabeth Olsen is doing what she can to change that.

Environmental and welfare concerns aside, I never get so many comments on any shoes as I do when I wear Olsenhaus. The pair pictured below, Atlantis in Bronze, has taken me from evenings out to premieres, and were even worn in a film role because the stylist decided they were nicer than any of the selection they had in the costume department.
