In this episode, I talk with Rebecca Mink, the Founder, CEO and Creative Director of Mink Shoes, an eco-luxe, vegan shoe and accessory line made in Italy. Rebecca is a sustainable fashion pioneer and one of the most passionate humans I know, so I’m excited to have been able to have this in-depth conversation with her. We speak about what it means to be a luxury vegan brand, eating plants while saving animals, and redefining the shoe industry.

About Rebecca…

Rebecca is a pioneer in sustainable fashion as 22 years ago she started studying vegan leather to create her first luxury vegan shoe collection.

Today, Rebecca is thrilled to be inventing MINK’s own vegan leather to produce gorgeous Italian made shoes and accessories. She is redefining an innovative way to express fashion through technologies in sustainable materials focused on using no plastic. This is Rebecca’s life’s work as she founded MINK in her quest to push the boundaries of what it means to be a luxury vegan brand and create a non-leather alternative.

Rebecca started at the astonishing age of four years old when she refused to eat animals and wear shoes made of leather. Rebecca went on to become a celebrity wardrobe stylist creating fashion forward luxury options that did not harm animals, people, or the planet. Thinking of today and tomorrow by creating beautiful and sustainable products without compromise.

As Rebecca shares, “I wake up every day with overflowing passion!” That is what drives Rebecca to continue to push boundaries, and invent a supreme bio-based plant leather made from reclaimed fruits and vegetables to launch in 2022. The future of food waste can be upcycled into your very next pair of luxury shoes!
