Nae Vegan Shoes

Nae Vegan Shoes is a pioneering Portuguese footwear brand founded in 2008. The name 'Nae' stands for 'No Animal Exploitation,' reflecting the company's core mission to provide ethical alternatives to animal-derived materials. The brand is recognized for its use of sustainable and innovative materials, such as cork, Pinatex (pineapple leaf fiber), organic cotton, recycled plastic bottles, and synthetic microfibers.

All Nae products are manufactured in Portugal, specifically in factories located in the regions of Porto and Santa Maria da Feira. These facilities are chosen for their high standards of craftsmanship and respect for workers' rights. The brand maintains a small-scale, transparent production model that ensures both quality and ethical integrity throughout the supply chain.

The brand is owned and operated by Nae Vegan Shoes, Lda, which remains an independent entity headquartered in Lisbon, Portugal. Since its inception, the company has grown from a local startup into an internationally recognized name in the sustainable fashion movement, staying true to its original Portuguese heritage and animal-friendly values.
