About BOHEMA
BOHEMA is a Polish family brand founded in 2018 by Sebastian and Wioletta Szypula. Every pair is handcrafted in our Kolbuszowa atelier (southern Poland) by Sebastian's parents: Edward, master shoemaker with 30 years of experience, assembles each pair; Halina, seamstress, hand-sews the uppers from plant-based leather. Three generations, one workshop, small batches.

Questions about this product
What material are the BOHEMA Chunky Derby Shoes Black made from?
The BOHEMA Chunky Derby Shoes Black are made from Vegea grape leather, a plant-based leather crafted from grape marc, a byproduct of the wine industry. It is 100% vegan, free from animal products, and offers a rich texture similar to traditional leather. The shoes are handmade in Poland in craft workshops.
Are the BOHEMA black grape leather derby shoes good for wide or narrow feet?
The BOHEMA Chunky Derby Shoes feature a classic derby open-lacing construction, which makes them a flexible fit option. The chunky silhouette typically offers a roomier toe box, making them a solid choice for medium to slightly wider feet. If you have a very narrow foot, sizing down half a size may help achieve a snugger fit. When in doubt, reach out to BOHEMA directly for personalized fit advice.
What occasions are these vegan black derby shoes suitable for?
The BOHEMA Chunky Derby Shoes in black grape leather work well across a wide range of occasions. Their sleek black color and derby silhouette make them appropriate for smart-casual and business-casual settings, while the chunky sole adds a modern edge for everyday wear, creative workplaces, or going out. They pair well with tailored trousers, dark denim, or relaxed suits.
How should I care for BOHEMA shoes made from grape leather (Vegea)?
Grape leather (Vegea) is a plant-based material that benefits from regular, gentle care. Wipe off dirt with a soft, damp cloth after each wear. Use a vegan-friendly conditioner or plant-based leather balm to keep the material supple and prevent drying. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heavy rain. Do not use products containing animal-derived waxes or harsh chemical solvents, as these can damage the plant-based surface.
