Bourgeois Boheme is an online boutique offering stylish leather-free shoes and accessories for men and women. They are proud to stock their own exclusive handmade brand as well as other ethical fashion labels.
Its founders, Alicia Lai and Van Tran, are a vegan couple who couldn’t find stylish footwear to complement their animal-loving ethics. So five years ago Bourgeois Boheme was born with the aim of providing sustainable, ethical and compassionate fashion for people who care about the environment – but who also want to look their best!
Since opening as an online store, Bourgeois Boheme has gone from strength to strength, winning four PETA and Vegan Society awards for its contribution to the ethical retail market. Alicia and Van have also since opened up a showroom in Richmond, London so customers can visit and see their fabulous range of shoes and accessories up close.
Given its stringent selection processes and the materials used, it is easy to see why this online boutique is proving so popular.
It is important to Bourgeois Boheme that their customers don’t have to compromise their beliefs, be it in animals or the planet, so they only sell ethically sourced footwear and accessories. Alicia and Van work with companies and manufacturers who are non-exploitative at the very least – and of course it’s a bonus if they are vegan-run!
Bourgeois Boheme handpicks each of its manufacturers and even visits the factories to guarantee that all of its products are 100% ethical; with dedication like this, you know you’re in safe hands. This way, the customer is assured that Bourgeois Boheme’s ethos is being met at every step of the way, from the factory right through to your front door.

The materials used by Bourgeois Boheme are completely leather-free and eco-friendly. Organic, Fairtrade, and hemp materials are used wherever possible to really miminise their impact on the environment and Bourgeois Boheme strive to show this through their own range of shoes – Earth Goddess/Earth Gods, and Espiritual/Jiva. There are too many lovely products to name so we’ve picked out some of our favourites to whet your appetite:
Take Bourgeois Boheme’s Earth Goddess range, for example – a beautiful smart-casual range which promises style, comfort and, if that isn’t enough, it also promises to be kind to the planet too! The Rhea for instance seen here in oat hemp, is a stylish kitten heel also available in black organic and Fairtrade cotton.
Or how about the Ertha which, as its name suggests, is completely Earth-friendly. Seen here in sky blue organic hemp with a beautiful floral lining, the Ertha is an extremely versatile shoe – simply remove the ankle strap and you have a lovely summer pump.
Or, if ankle straps aren’t your thing, what about the Umai? Made from black organic cotton and a sisal rubber sole, this is a gorgeous flat T-bar shoe which would be perfect teamed with your favourite jeans.
With clever thinking like this behind their shoes, it’s clear that Bourgeois Boheme is dedicated to producing trans-seasonal investment pieces. So not only will wearing a pair of Bourgeois Boheme shoes save you money, it will also further your commitment to the environment. Who’d have thought shopping could be so empowering?!
There are lots of different and varied styles to choose from so, whatever your beliefs, you’re sure to find a shoe that fits with Bourgeois Boheme.
