SOLARI MILANO
Solari Milano is an Italian vegan footwear brand for young professionals seeking handcrafted, cruelty-free shoes that combine refined design, certified animal-free materials and lower-impact production.
OUR STORY
Founded in 2021 by Niccolò Amati, Solari Milano was created to bring together Italian shoemaking tradition and research into plant-based material innovation. The brand’s idea of “sustainable luxury” is built around handcrafted footwear, Italian elegance and a clear commitment to avoiding animal-derived materials.
WHAT DOES THIS BRAND DO BEST
Solari Milano’s strength lies in creating polished, Italian-made vegan shoes that do not compromise on style, comfort or craft. Its approach combines artisanal production with carefully selected plant-based and recycled materials, resulting in footwear designed for everyday refinement with a lower-impact mindset.
OUR MATERIALS
The brand uses vegan, recyclable and cruelty-free materials, including corn-based uppers, organic cotton laces, recycled rubber outsoles and bamboo lining. Its materials are selected for colour, texture, performance and suitability for handcrafted footwear.
WHERE IT PRODUCES?
Solari Milano handles its production process in Milan and the Marche region, with artisans and factories in Fermo, Italy. Prototypes are tested at CEQ, the Centro Eccellenza Qualità, in Monsummano Terme.
WHAT MAKES IT DISTINCT?
Solari Milano stands out for its certified animal-free approach, fully Italian production chain and use of plant-based alternatives to leather. The brand carries PETA-Approved Vegan certification and is rated VVV+ by Animal Free Fashion designed by LAV, the highest ethical rating in that scheme. This gives its cruelty-free positioning more substance than generic vegan footwear claims.
WHY DID ecomarket CHOOSE IT?

The brand fits a curated responsible selection through its Italian craftsmanship, certified vegan standards, plant-based material choices and clear focus on reducing reliance on animal-derived materials while maintaining comfort, elegance and everyday wearability.
