Brands I choose for you
I'm interested in where the materials come from, who is behind the production, and whether it all makes sense. I follow new technologies that save nature, but I still want it to be beautiful, comfortable, and feminine above all.
I want you to know that when you buy something from Leda, there's more than just a pretty design behind it. There's care, thoughtfulness, and respect – for you, for craftsmanship, and for the planet.
- When you reach for LWG-certified leather, you know it's tanned gently – without phthalates, without aggressive substances, with respect for your skin.
- When you feel how light the Wonders soles or Tencel laces are, you know that someone has also thought about how much waste they will not produce unnecessarily.
- When you walk in shoes with a Gore-Tex membrane, you don't have to worry about rain or snow. And your feet breathe.
- When I choose brands from Europe, I know that I support fair labor, not an anonymous factory on the other side of the world.
- And when I wear a model for a wider foot, a high instep or a larger size, I know that style is not only for the chosen ones.
Brands I trust
A Spanish brand that I enjoy with its femininity and flair. It makes shoes in small family workshops from high-quality, traditionally tanned leather without chrome - proof of care for nature and the skin. It knows how to make shoes that are unmistakable, but still comfortable. Their signature style, jewel sandals, is made from suede, leather and synthetic materials, often in small workshops with hand-made products.
Handbags and accessories that are timeless and beautifully coordinated. I look for pieces that hold their shape for a long time, wear well and complement every outfit – even if it’s been in my wardrobe for five years.

Its iconic coats and jackets are designed to bring you timeless style and comfort, while reflecting the values of a sustainable lifestyle.

I appreciate their work with materials and cuts that flatter the figure and let the woman's personality stand out, not just the current trend. Catnoir is the choice when you want to add character to an outfit, but still remain yourself.
I have a weakness for brands that also think about women who are neglected by regular ready-made clothes. Doris Streich is plus size fashion that is comfortable, flexible and feminine. And most importantly - it is not a compromise, but a full-fledged style.

A brand that has a really high standard. It uses LWG-certified leather from European dance halls, where work is done without harmful chemicals. Their Butterflight technology is light as a feather – Sacchetto cut, recycled EVA WALK soles, laces made of Tencel and ECONYL®. And when it rains? Gore-Tex membranes on selected models will not leave you in the lurch.

The Dutch brand specializing in jeans and trousers uses quality fabrics, often certified cotton, designed for long-term durability and a perfect fit for different body types. Trousers and jeans that really fit. They not only have comfortable cuts, but also quality fabrics that hold their shape and are timeless. They often have certified cotton or eco-blends, which is a big plus for me.
A brand of handbags that are not only stylish but also practical. I also discovered pieces with recycled linings or vegan leather details. They look fresh and durable.
For me, Peter Kaiser is the embodiment of timeless feminine elegance. More than 180 years of tradition can be seen in every detail – in precise workmanship, high-quality materials and cuts that respect the female foot and its comfort.
I choose shoes for you that are refined, delicate and beautifully wearable all day long. Pumps, moccasins and sandals look luxurious, but never ostentatious. They are quietly confident – and that is why they are timeless. These are shoes that make sense to invest in and that you will be happy to return to for years.
A brand that was not afraid to go into research and development. Their GreenStep program brings organic and biobased materials. And HyphaLite™? A shoe made of a sponge – literally! They also received an award for a sustainable project for it. And they are also testing other ecological membranes that reduce the so-called shoeprint.
A Dutch brand that can offer elegant cuts for ordinary women – and what’s more, it often uses natural or recycled materials. I like to choose things from them that are comfortable and yet chic.

Vera Mont is a brand that knows how to capture special moments with ease and natural elegance. Dresses and formal ensembles have beautiful lines, a feminine character and materials that wear well and flatter the figure.
I choose it for those moments when you want to be well-groomed, confident and feel really good in your clothes – whether you are heading to a family celebration, a wedding or a social event. Vera Mont confirms that even social fashion can be comfortable, sophisticated and timeless.
A family-run brand from Elche, Spain, that I particularly like. It combines traditional Spanish craftsmanship with modern approaches – they use water-based glues, recycled soles and renewable energy. They add recycled packaging and sustainable leathers from Europe. Their Wondersfly collection? Lightweight, soft and completely comfortable – and they last longer than you would expect.
What sustainability means to me
USustainability to me is not just about recycling or green labels. It means thinking about what we wear, where it comes from and who we help or harm by doing so. It means choosing things that will last, will serve us for more than one season, and that neither people nor nature were harmed in their production.
It also means trusting your taste, not the dictates of trends. And knowing that quality does not have to be flashy – but it should be honest. For me, sustainable fashion is one that makes sense not only to the eye, but also to the touch, to the wearer and in the heart. For me, sustainability means fashion that looks beautiful, serves well and makes sense. For you. For the planet.
Choose with confidence
Do you need shoes that do not constrict, do not press and still look great? For a higher instep, a wider foot or a specific size? I already know which ones might fit you.
With love and fashion passion, Yours Leda.
