Recycled shoes redefine luxury fashion through Fundae, a sustainable footwear brand transforming post-consumer waste into coveted style statements. Founded by media industry veteran Holly Garrard, Fundae blends high fashion with environmental consciousness through its patent-pending magnetic interchangeable system.

Now Available at Flying Solo Paris
Fundae has triumphantly arrived at Flying Solo Paris, captivating fashion enthusiasts with its revolutionary customizable heels. The brand’s magnetic presence has already conquered New York’s fashion scene and now dominates Parisian luxury retail spaces. Fashion insiders can’t get enough of Fundae’s versatile designs, which effortlessly transition from daytime elegance to evening glamour with simple magnetic accessory swaps.
Recycled Shoes Reimagined: The Fundae Sustainability Revolution
Fundae transforms recycled plastic from oceans into exquisite luxury footwear. Holly Garrard’s visionary approach tackles fashion waste while creating stunning statement pieces. The brand’s signature Silver Spoon Sole represents the first-ever luxury shoe with recycled rubber outsoles made from repurposed plastics with metal infusion, allowing for endless resoling and extending product life dramatically.
These eco-conscious soles deliver exceptional comfort through flexible rubber that bends precisely where feet need support most—pioneering the fusion of comfort with sustainability in luxury high heels. Locally sourced in Italy from luxury automotive parts, these 100% recycled and recyclable soles provide waterproof durability while reducing environmental impact.
The Magic of Magnetic Customization
Fundae’s patent-pending interchangeable system empowers fashion lovers to “reSHOE” rather than repurchase. The innovative magnetic technology enables wearers to transform one pair of shoes into countless looks with swappable “toppings.” This revolutionary approach promotes slower, more mindful consumption while celebrating personal style expression.
The brand cleverly utilizes Earth’s magnetic properties to create fashion that’s adaptable, sustainable, and endlessly creative. All metal hardware remains nickel-free, ensuring sensitivity-friendly wear while maintaining exceptional durability. From heels to handbags and even headbands, Fundae toppings create a cohesive, personalized style system.
Artisanal Luxury Meets Environmental Innovation
Handcrafted in Italy, Fundae shoes exemplify luxury craftsmanship while prioritizing planet-friendly materials. The brand sources sustainable alternatives like cork, grape skins, corn-based leather substitutes, and recycled materials. Their circular approach incorporates deadstock fabrics and production scraps into “upcycled collections,” ensuring minimal waste throughout the manufacturing process.
Fundae’s commitment extends beyond materials to packaging—each pair arrives in 100% recyclable lemon pulp paper boxes with absolutely zero plastic components. This dedication to sustainability flows through every aspect of the brand experience.
Empowering Women Through Conscious Fashion
Beyond creating exceptional footwear, Fundae dedicates itself to uplifting women. The brand partners with women’s empowerment organizations, donating portions of sales to help women regain stability during challenging times. This “Soles Uplifting Souls” initiative embodies Fundae’s mission to create positive societal impact through conscious commerce.
Holly Garrard infuses her 25+ years of media and marketing expertise into brand storytelling that emphasizes transparency, sustainability, and female empowerment. Every Fundae creation celebrates the woman who wears it while contributing to environmental protection.
