MATERIALS
MATERIALS
For Beflamboyant, the use of animals in business does not make sense. Thanks to innovative materials available today, we can craft high-quality vegan shoes that endure. Our shoes are made to last, using vegan materials from Spanish, Portuguese and Italian suppliers. High-quality, organic, and recycled.
PLANT BASED
Made with Corn
Our vegan shoes collections are mainly made out of corn waste, a vegan and sustainable material, which reduces by 88% the CO2 emissions in comparison with animal leather. It is created with the inedible part of the corn, allowing us to take advantage of the waste.
This bio-based material is 63% organic and offers exceptional comfort, breathability and it is highly lightweight. It counts also with the PETA VEGAN APPROVED certification.
RECYCLED
SEAQUAL
Beflamboyant joined the SEAQUAL INITIATIVE, which is a community with a single voice against plastic pollution. They bring together individuals, organizations and companies, to help clean our oceans and transform post consumer plastic and upcycled marine plastic into high-quality yarn.
Recycled PET Bottles
The inner lining of our vegan footwear is made of Recycled PET plastic bottles, providing a pleasantly soft, breathable, and lightweight feel. This material holds the GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certification. Our vegan shoes all use the same insole, ultra-comfortable 100% recycled foam with active carbon of vegetable origin and removable. You will feel like you are walking on clouds with your new vegan sneakers.
Made in Spain

Production process
Your BEFLAMBOYANTs are made in Elche, Spain, a small town located in the eastern part of the country known for its footwear industry. After a thorough search we found a factory hat was willing to join our initiative, with skilled artisans boasting years of expertise. They work under fair labor conditions and maintain rigorous manufacturing standards, which we personally verified during our visits.
TRACEABILITY, a unique term that enables us to track the evolution process of our product at every stage.
The fashion industry is one of the contributors to modern slavery, linked to labor exploitation through cheap workforce. Women and children are often forced to work more than 12 hours per day in appalling conditions for a low salary, all to continually renew our wardrobes season after season. This cycle is unacceptable, and we refuse to participate in it.
For these reasons our vegan shoes are made in Spain and we exclusively collaborate with reputable partners and suppliers from Spain, Italy, and Portugal who share our values, respect their workers and demonstrate a commitment to the quality of our product, just as we do.

Fair working conditions
- Cutting: With a metal die with the shape of each piece and a machine that works by pressure, each of the parts of which your shoes are made is cut, so the production process begins at the factory. As you can see in the image, it is not an easy task, due to the high number of pieces a great experience is required for the appropriate pieces to be cut, always wasting as little as possible.
- Sewing: It is a fundamental part in the process, each piece is hand sewn one by one by the factory workers. It requires a surgeon’s precision, the great experience of all the workers ensures that the puzzle that is obtained after the cutting process is perfectly fitted, giving life to your vegan sneakers.
- Assembly: The last step but not the least important is that of the final assembly, it is time to put the base of your vegan sneakers, that will make you believe that you walk on clouds. The soles are also hand sewn one by one and reinforced with a water-based glue, animal free of course. The process ends when everything is completely dry and our vegan shoes are ready to put in our packaging zero waste.
