AERA is a luxury vegan footwear launched in February 2020 by Tina Bhojwani. Tina has over 20 years of experience in the fashion industry, where she previously held key leadership roles at global brands including Donna Karan, Theory and Dolce & Gabbana. Throughout her career, she saw the impact of fashion on people and the planet and recognized the need for change. She built AERA as a platform to address these environmental and social challenges, with the hope of making its practices the new normal in fashion. Every pair of AERA shoes combines sustainable, vegan materials with sophisticated designs and their signature quilted insoles. They developed this unique quilted design element, now a registered trademark, not only to enhance comfort with a layer of cushion, but also to elevate the aesthetic appeal of every pair. They believe your shoes can do good for the planet, your style, and your feet.
