Circular High Heels by roccamore

roccamore, a renowned Danish footwear brand, has achieved a significant milestone by launching the first Cradle to Cradle Certified® high-heeled shoes, handmade in Italy using biodegradable leather.

This pioneering effort marks a big step toward circular fashion, with the brand’s Vegetable Tanned Collection receiving Bronze-level certification. The collection features a range of pumps and boots, each designed with a strong commitment to minimizing environmental impact.

roccamore's achievement reflects their commitment to the circular economy and sustainable innovation. The Cradle to Cradle Certified® standard is a globally recognized benchmark for products that are safe, circular, and responsibly made. It focuses on optimizing material health, product circularity, clean air, climate protection, water stewardship, and social fairness.

"Many fashion brands claim to be sustainable, but few can truly document their impact on nature and society. We are incredibly proud to be the first in the world to achieve Cradle to Cradle Certified® for high heels."

Frederikke Antonie Schmidt, Founder and Creative Director, roccamore

Vugge til Vugge, as the assessment body for this certification, played a key role in guiding roccamore through the process.

Annette Hastrup, CEO & Owner of Vugge til Vugge, shared her perspective on this collaboration: "Working with a brand like roccamore, which is deeply committed to sustainability, has been inspiring. Their dedication to creating products that embody the principles of the circular economy sets a high standard in the fashion industry."

With this innovative collection, roccamore is leading the way towards a more sustainable fashion, offering consumers stylish footwear choices.
