OUR MICRO-BUSINESS FOOTPRINT

“My philosophy is ‘less is more.’ As an independent micro business, I’m dedicated to maximizing your space in the room, your style and strength while minimizing environmental impact. This page serves as a conversation-starter and awareness-raiser, as participating in the footwear industry requires transparency and dialogue.”

As a micro-business, we approach every step with intention. We design and produce in small batches, source responsibly, and ensure each product is consciously created to last.

DESIGN

Every collection begins with intention. We create small-batch designs that merge modern luxury with timeless style, crafted to be wearable and forward-thinking. Each silhouette moves from sketch to prototype with refined detail, balancing artistry and function. With conscious craftsmanship, every piece is striking in design and built with quality construction to last and be worn for years.

MATERIALS

Our materials are responsibly sourced and processed in Brazil, working only with certified partners through the Leather Working Group and the Brazilian Leather Certification of Sustainability. We prioritize conscious choices at every stage, ensuring 100% of processing water is recycled and offering innovative vegan alternatives like biobased apple leather.

PRODUCTION

We partner exclusively with a certified, responsible factory with low employee turnover. Our small-batch, made-to-order approach keeps production runs minimal and waste reduced. Every scrap is repurposed rather than landfilled, and 90% of our factory partner's energy comes from solar power.

CONSUMPTION

The final step of our product life cycle is the handoff to you, our customer. Each pair arrives in a Ruthie Davis box made from 100% recyclable and 70% recycled materials, extending our sustainability commitment beyond production. Clear customer communication and exceptional fit keep returns low, ensuring every pair finds a lasting home. Timeless designs are worn for years or resold on luxury platforms like The RealReal, giving each pair a second and third life. Ruthie Davis shoes are never thrown away.

Step into confidence with luxury heels and platforms by Ruthie Davis, the Queen of Heels. Each pair is designed to empower, elevate, and make every moment unforgettable.
