Marzeri
BIRTH OF AN IDEAL
A quest started 13 years ago when she worked as a marketing manager in a supermarket chain. That position required a certain dress code, having always cared for animal-rights, she started looking for both cruelty-free refined clothes and accessories, most importantly shoes. It was disheartening to see the lack of these products on the market and incredibly frustrating, so she decided to make them herself.
“Once you go cruelty-free, you can't really separate what you do with food and what do you do with clothes anymore. Eating meat and wearing leather are two sides of the same coin.”
In 2006, there weren't really many options in Italy in terms of cruelty-free footwear (and of the ones available none were high quality) so the founders figured they would take on the challenge themselves.
