Sustainable luxury footwear. Recycled, regenerated and bio-based vegan leather shoe  handcrafted in Italy

Sylven New York partners with Italian artisans who not only know the centuries' old traditions of shoemaking, but are also just as curious and excited as we are to work with new materials and techniques, to make all of their products

Every pair of Sylven New York shoes is shipped with recycled paper, recycled cotton dust bags, and recycled and recyclable shoe boxes. They also employ a plastic-free packaging mandate with all of their factory partners

All Sylven New York are 100% made in Italy: Everything from where their shoe forms get made, to their tanneries, to where they source their apple waste for their Apple Skin alternative to leather comes from Italy

Casey Dworkin is the founder of the brand. Funny enough she was born on Earth Day, and has been dedicated to sustainable practices from a young age as a result. Prior to launching her own line, Dworkin spent her professional career working within small footwear and fashion companies. When she decided to launch a company of her own, she felt compelled to base her brand equally on craftsmanship, design, and mission – finally getting the opportunity to combine her affinities for both fashion and sustainability

The brand is a small company with less than 20 people working in it

Translating to ‘diamond’ in Swahili, the Almasi boot takes inspiration from the diamond’s clean lines and geometry. This boot is super sleek with a pointed almond-shaped toe, and a covered heel with diamond inspired stitch detailing.
The custom designed zipper pull, also shaped like a diamond, is entirely handcrafted by fair trade artisans in Kenya. Proceeds from the sales of this boot and of all of Sylven styles made with their Kenyan hardware go directly towards new initiative The Better Scholarship - a training and education program for low income students in Kenya.

Apple Leather
﻿Apple Leather is a bio-based leather alternative made using organic apple waste originating in Tyrol, a town nestled at the base of the Italian Alps. Tyrol is the largest supplier of organic apples in Europe and every year is faced with a significant amount of waste. The cores and skins of the apple waste are taken and transformed into a pulp, which is then bound to a fabric for structure. The result is a ‘leather’ imitative material that structurally holds many of the same properties as a traditional animal leather while remaining completely animal-free.
 Handcrafted in Italy. Vegan and cruelty-free.

Apple skin is a leather substitute and, as it sounds, is made with scraps left over from the food industry, composed of a minimum of 50% apple skin and core waste. 

With this innovative fabric, you can give food scraps a new life, and in doing so you save resources and energy. 
Apple Skin uses vegan tanning processes, where few toxic chemicals are used. 

In the composition, there is also PU, a plastic material. Wait, isn’t plastic a bad thing? Currently, it is necessary to make apple skin leather a durable material that will last for ages even with frequent usage. 

When you choose substitutes like apple skin, you are totally taking part in the advancement of technologies for bio-based materials like it.

This product contains apple skin leather, a material made with a natural leather alternative by apple skin and core waste. Apart from being extremely environmentally friendly, it is breathable thanks to it's organic composition, and water resistant.
