When I’m looking for shoes, I always look for something very minimal and neutral so I can easily wear it with any outfit. VIVAIA offers products that do just that and more!
I discovered VIVAIA through some of my content creator friends who’ve work with the brand! So when Vivaia wanted to collaborate with me on a gifted basis, I thought I’d give their products a try. I also love working with brands who work towards slow and sustainable fashion!
VIVAIA has gifted me shoes in exchange for a blog post featuring their products. In this blog post I’ll be sharing with you details about the brand, the pro’s and con’s of their products and my honest review.
About VIVAIA
Before I dive into the pros and cons of this brand, I want to share details about the brand.
VIVAIA is a shoe brand that offers stylish and eco-friendly products without breaking the bank. They do so by creating sustainable products out of long-lasting materials like plastic water bottles and even acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (the plastic material that make up legos). They not only offer sustainable shoes, but they also offer a variety of bags, clothing, face masks and scarves. Even their packaging boxes are made of 100% recycled cardboard. You can learn more about how their products are sustainably made and ethically sourced here: VIVAIA-Sustainability
VIVAIA’s target audience are women who love chic, minimal and trendy fashion products. VIVAIA does offer some products (like sneakers) for men but mainly targets women. Because the brands main mission is to provide eco-friendly products, it would also attract those who support sustainable fashion and favor eco-friendly products.
Pricing
Their shoes cost anywhere from $69-$129 while their accessories cost anywhere from $9.99-$119. This all depends on which products you’re looking at.
Shipping
As for delivery, my order only took 4 days to get delivered to my house. Their page states that shipping takes about 6-13 days for U.S. orders. Sometimes when brands ship products out to content creators, they try to ship items out to them faster using a faster delivery service. However, I’m not sure if that was the case with my order or not.
