Our design philosophy

Finally, you no longer need to choose between elegant style and innovative sustainability. We do both. Uncompromising in beautiful design and ethical practice, we’re here to set a new industry standard.

Conscious collections

Ethical. Aesthetic. Every collection celebrates ingenuity; from elegant design, to sustainable materials, and innovative craftsmanship. We’re committed to saving the planet we love. That will never, ever change.

From our founder

When founder Larissa Hoehl shifted towards conscious fashion, she found plenty of options in every category other than luxury footwear. It felt impossible to buy from a high-end shoe brand in good conscience. And that’s where the idea for Jia De Lara started. It’s the combination of all Larissa’s expertise: animal-lover, shoe-lover, conservationist - while bringing together the best of her previous careers as a veterinarian and environmental policy expert.

If you don’t need to choose between beautiful design and our beautiful planet, why would you?
