PROTA FIORI

Valentino and Giorgio Armani alum Jennifer

Stucko began her quest for eco-friendly footwear in 2018. Working first with a factory in Italy’s Le Marche shoemaking region to help her develop leathers made of upcycled apple and

grape skins (the latter of which can sometimes come from the waste of vineyards), she created a durable but sleek material for uppers, including those for the Flora sandal, shown here.
