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.
Care
Wipe with damp cloth and mild soap when dirty. Apply the plant-leather cream included with every order over €200 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 BOHEMA Medley Sandals made from?
The BOHEMA Medley Sandals are made from Desserto cactus leather, a certified plant-based vegan material derived from the nopal cactus. It is a sustainable alternative to animal leather, offering a similar look and feel without any animal products. All BOHEMA sandals are 100% vegan.
Are the BOHEMA Medley Sandals good for narrow or wide feet?
The Medley Sandals feature an open, minimalist strap design that naturally adapts to different foot widths. The sandal construction works well for medium to slightly wider feet due to its adjustable fit. If you have a very narrow foot, sizing down by half a size may give a more secure feel. When in doubt, contact BOHEMA directly for personalized fit advice.
What occasions are the BOHEMA Medley Sandals suitable for?
The Medley Sandals blend minimalist design with a clean silhouette, making them versatile for everyday wear, city outings, casual summer events, and light travel. Their multicolor finish adds a subtle statement touch, pairing well with linen dresses, wide-leg trousers, or relaxed summer co-ords. They are not designed for heavy outdoor or athletic use.
How are the BOHEMA Medley Sandals made and where do they come from?
The Medley Sandals are handmade in Poland in craft workshops, using traditional shoemaking techniques combined with modern plant-based materials. Each pair is crafted with attention to detail, which is a key part of the BOHEMA brand identity. This handmade, small-batch approach ensures quality and a lower environmental footprint compared to mass-produced footwear.
