TULIP is sustainable footwear for women in the professional world. Built to last, TULIP’s timeless silhouette is designed to be comfortable and distinctive, featuring charming stitching and a ventilation gap near the heel.

The sole of the shoe, crafted from tulip poplar offcuts, is engineered to roll with the foot, providing ergonomic comfort with every step. The exterior is crafted from recycled wool, stabilized with vertical cotton stitching, which attaches it to reclaimed cotton lining inside. By utilizing biodegradable adhesives, TULIP can decompose after its lifecycle comes to an end.
