ESSEN

ESSEN the Label reimagines classic footwear by bringing a contemporary aesthetic to wardrobe staples season after season. ESSEN products are designed and developed in Melbourne and entirely handmade in Italy, Portugal, and Spain. This slow fashion brand produces timeless shoes using high quality LWG (Leather Working Group) Certified non-toxic leather in small batches. Essen uses leather that is a by-product of the meat industry, which would otherwise go to waste, and never uses exotic skins. ESSEN is a proud partner of i=Change to support charities like Clean the Sea, Restore the Land, and Educate a Girl.
