Earth Friendly Design
Share
At Tracey Neuls we are dedicated to earth-friendly practices, using sustainable materials like sugar cane soles, natural crepe soles, and vegetable-dyed leathers, which reduce environmental impact and highlight natural beauty.
Neuls' designs are timeless, crafted with a focus on originality rather than being dictated by fashion trends. This commitment to enduring style ensures that our shoes are not only sustainable in their construction but also in their lasting appeal, offering a thoughtful alternative to throwaway fashion.
Our shoes are designed to be fixed when necessary, and we have a special relationship with our Marylebone cobbler of the past twenty years - Quality Shoe Care, at 33 Paddington Street. Many of the components can be replaced when it is time for a refresh.

We use small ateliers, buy what materials we need, and are never excessive - often using up even the last small pieces of leather for single, unique pairs of shoes, so as not to waste this luxurious material. See Arlinda Bordeaux AW24 - just a few pairs were made in this last batch of gorgeous patent leather.
We are proud members of Greenspark (an initiative that offsets carbon emissions by creating sustainable, carbon neutral businesses) and we now have biodegradable sneakers - DOT (below) with soles made from a byproduct of the sugar cane industry that will one day return to the earth (well after you're done with them - naturally :)
