Sustainability
At Irina Stamate, true luxury is not only about craftsmanship, it’s about consciousness.
We believe that beauty must be built with responsibility, which is why every decision we make, from sourcing to packaging, honors a commitment to sustainability, longevity, and mindful creation.
Artisan Craftsmanship Over Mass Production
Each pair of Irina Stamate shoes is handcrafted in Italy by master artisans, using time-honored techniques that prioritize quality over quantity.
Our limited production runs are designed to minimize waste, favoring careful creation instead of overproduction.
Materials Chosen with Care
We partner with select Italian suppliers who share our dedication to excellence and ethical practices.
Whenever possible, we source leathers from tanneries certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG) and prioritize natural, responsibly produced materials that age beautifully, reducing the need for frequent replacement.
Timeless Design, Made to Last
We design with intention: sculptural silhouettes and refined forms that transcend seasons.
By investing in pieces built for longevity, both stylistically and structurally, we aim to shift away from fast fashion’s culture of disposability.
Packaging with Purpose
Our packaging is thoughtfully created to minimize environmental impact without compromising the luxury experience:
• Outer shipping boxes are made from recycled materials.
• Tissue paper and filler are recyclable and responsibly sourced.
• Our branded dust bags are designed for long-term use, preserving your shoes beyond the unboxing moment.
A Journey of Continuous Improvement
Sustainability is not a destination, but an ongoing journey.
We are continually exploring new ways to reduce our footprint, from refining our supply chain partnerships to exploring lower-impact logistics and new material innovations.
