Continue shoppingGrape leather shoes from BOHEMA are handcrafted from Vegea, a plant-based leather made in Italy from grape marc, the skins and stalks left over from winemaking. We craft grape leather loafers, sneakers, boots, pumps and sandals by hand in skilled craft workshops in Poland. BOHEMA grew from the craft of Sebastian's parents — Edward, a master shoemaker with 30 years of experience, and Halina, a seamstress — a Polish family brand with manufacturing roots in Kolbuszowa.
