Rombaut

Rombaut provides an ethical alternative to fast fashion with its selection of environmentally friendly footwear. Launched in 2013 by Belgian designer Mats Rombaut, the Paris-based label creates conceptual collections made with repurposed, biodegradable, and vegan materials. In an effort to eliminate toxic substances, Rombaut produces its innovative plant-based leathers from a variety of natural sources, including apple, coconut, and tree bark, with each style hand-finished in the designer’s Parisian workshop to ensure the utmost quality. Rombaut’s distinctive designs—typified by the chunky soles featured in its footwear collections—have garnered as much attention as the brand’s use of unconventional materials. Specializing in sculptural sneakers, Rombaut also offers a range of sleek slip-ons, angular heels, and biotech-inspired lace-up boots. With a climate-conscious approach to high-fashion footwear, Rombaut strikes a balance between the organic and the avant-garde.
