Sustainability

sustainability

At Dolce Vita, we’ve always worked to become a more sustainable and socially responsible version of ourselves – better footwear, lower footprint. And while these changes don’t happen overnight, they are happening. Working closely with our designers, our suppliers, and our factories, we’re forging a path forward that asks less from the planet, and more from our partners. Because it is not enough to design for ourselves – we have to design for the future, too.

At Dolce Vita, every step is a conscious choice towards a sweeter life and more sustainable world.

ONE TREE PLANTED

partnership/ donation

Every month since the beginning of 2022, we’ve partnered with One Tree Planted to reduce our carbon footprint by planting trees in different parts of the country. Our current project is focused on reforestation, biodiversity, and community benefits in Portugal. Additionally, we have pledged to offset all company travel through carbon credits.

steps toward closing the loop

In early 2022, we introduced re:vita, our peer-to-peer platform designed to breathe new life into pre-loved Dolce Vita styles. Through this initiative, we aim to foster sustainability by keeping fashion out of the landfill. 

 

Online: List your gently loved Dolce Vita styles to earn site credit or shop for yourself and extend the sweet life of your favorite style.

In-store: earn $25 store credit to shop same-day when dropping off a pair of your pre-loved Dolce Vita shoes.

CONSCIOUS MATERIALS

to keep the earth clean

While we still have a ways to go, Dolce Vita is taking the steps to incorporate materials into our products that are more sustainable than conventional alternatives by using third party certified recycled materials, organic fibers, solvent free linings & responsibly sourced leathers. As we integrate these materials into a wider range of options, we remain committed to consistently delivering the iconic styles that have become synonymous with our brand.

100% RECYCLED PACKAGING

 In June 2022, we introduced 100% recyclable Dolce Vita packaging – using trees from FSC Certified Forests, post-consumer recycled materials, and biodegradable finishes. We’ve also opted for an eco-friendlier way to print with the use of soy ink, which makes it easier to recycle various packaging.
