Black and white pumps with open heel
These pumps combine classic with graphic clarity. Geometric lines, the contrast of black and white and the expressive double buckle give them a character in the style of power dressing of the 90's. Set on a stable heel, they allow no compromise between comfort and elegance. Minimalism with a slight twist - for work, evening, casual.
About the Material
Plant-based leather alternative crafted from natural fibers. Animal-free, water-repellent, built to last. Hand-cut and stitched in Polish craft workshops.
About BOHEMA
BOHEMA is a Polish family brand founded in 2018 by Sebastian and Wioletta Wiertel. Our shoes are handmade in Poland from plant-based leather: part of the models in our own family workshop in Kolbuszowa, the rest in skilled Polish craft workshops. Three generations, one story, small batches.
Care
Wipe with damp cloth and mild soap when dirty. Apply a plant-based leather cream every 2-3 months. Air dry away from direct sun or heat. Store with shoe trees or rolled paper inside to keep shape.
Sizing & Fit
BOHEMA uses European sizing 35-42. True to size for most feet. If between sizes, size up half — plant-based leather softens with wear but does not stretch significantly.

Questions about this product
What material are the Marilyn Vegan Pumps made from?
The Marilyn Vegan Pumps are made from plant-based leather, a vegan alternative to animal leather. BOHEMA uses innovative materials such as cactus leather (Desserto) and grape leather (Vegea) in their collections, making these pumps a cruelty-free and sustainable choice without compromising on quality or style.
Are the Marilyn Black and White Open Heel Pumps good for wide feet or high instep?
The Marilyn Pumps feature an open heel design, which naturally provides more flexibility around the back of the foot and can be more comfortable for those with a higher instep. If you have wide feet, it is worth contacting BOHEMA directly for fit advice, as their shoes are handmade in Polish craft workshops and the team can help guide you to the best size or fit for your foot type.
What occasions are the Marilyn Vegan Pumps suitable for?
The Marilyn Pumps in black and white are a versatile choice. Their classic pump silhouette with a bold two-tone colorblock design works well for office wear, smart-casual outings, parties, and special occasions. They pair beautifully with tailored trousers, midi skirts, or monochrome dresses for a polished, graphic look.
How should I care for my Marilyn plant-based leather pumps?
Plant-based leather requires gentle care. Wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove dirt, and allow them to air dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid soaking or using harsh chemical cleaners. To maintain the material's appearance, use a conditioner or protective spray specifically formulated for vegan or synthetic leathers. Store them in a dust bag or box to preserve their shape.
