We don’t believe in shortcuts. Every component of our vegan boots and accessories is selected with a clear purpose: comfort, durability, low environmental impact, and a completely animal-free approach.
Banana-Fiber Insoles
One of our favourite features: soft, breathable insoles made from banana-plant waste.
They’re warm, washable, and feel like a gentle cushion for your feet - proving that innovative, plant-based materials can outperform traditional ones.
Warm Faux-Fur Lining
Our lining is solvent-free, vegan, and incredibly soft.
It keeps your feet warm in winter, breathable indoors, and kind to sensitive skin - without a gram of wool.
Handcrafted Construction
Every pair is made in a small Italian workshop.
Skilled artisans work with traditional machines and a slow-production mindset - stitching, shaping, and assembling each boot with care.
We keep the entire supply chain close, because shorter distances = lower emissions and a more transparent process.
Circularity Built Into the Product Lifecycle
Every New Orchard product is designed not only to look good - but to do good throughout its life.
Local Sourcing, Lower CO₂
Most of our materials come from Italy, close to our manufacturing partners.
Shorter transport routes = significantly lower carbon emissions.
Small-Batch Production
We don’t overproduce.
We make what our community needs - making our footprint lighter and our products more intentional.
Recycled & Recyclable Packaging
Our boxes and paper materials are recycled, recyclable, or biodegradable.
No plastic, no wasteful fillers - just essentials.
Eco-Delivery Options
Customers can choose slower, lower-emission delivery methods.
Small change, big difference.
Take-Back Program
When your boots reach the end of their journey, we take them back - for free.
We then decide one of three paths:
-
Repair & donate (if the boots can be worn again)
-
Refurbish components
-
Recycle responsibly
This keeps your boots out of landfill and gives them a meaningful second life.
Carbon Offsetting
Through partners like Tree Nation, we neutralize the carbon footprint of our team and continue working toward reducing emissions across all operations.
Circularity isn’t a single action.
It’s a mindset - and we’re committed to it.
Why These Decisions Matter
Every material, every stitch, every design choice is guided by one core belief:
Fashion can be kind.
Kind to animals.
Kind to the planet.
Kind to the artisans who make our products.
Kind to the customers who wear them.
The anatomy of a New Orchard boot isn’t just physical - it’s emotional.
It’s a thoughtful combination of:
-
vegan innovation
-
European craftsmanship
-
circularity and resourcefulness
-
transparency
-
and a deep respect for animals
This is what sets New Orchard apart.
Not just vegan - but truly conscious, from first sketch to final step.
Final Stitch: A Boot Designed For a Better Future
A NO boot is more than a product.
It’s a promise - to do better, to choose better, and to redefine what good fashion looks like in the modern world.
Because when you put on a pair of New Orchard boots, you’re not just wearing something warm and beautiful.
You’re wearing a philosophy, a commitment, and a future where circular design and cruelty-free values aren’t exceptions - they’re the new normal.
