Chapter One: The Price of Choice – How Fashion Transcends Cost

As the Creative Director of GAZALIÈRE, I often reflect on the choices we make as consumers, especially when it comes to fashion. I have always believed that the right shoes can change the way we feel, the way we walk, and even the way we live. But what if the shoes we wear could also change the world around us? That’s where conscious fashion comes in.

Too often, we’re seduced by a ‘nice price’ – a price that seems too good to be true. And sometimes, it is. Because behind that price tag is a hidden cost, one that we rarely think about. The reality is, cheap fashion often comes with a price tag paid by the workers who endure unfair wages and harsh conditions, by animals who suffer for leather, and by the environment that bears the brunt of unsustainable practices.

 This is where GAZALIÈRE stands apart. Our shoes are made with 100% Italian calf leather and suede – ethically sourced, and crafted by Milan’s finest artisans. Each pair is made with care, with the full understanding that fashion should never come at the expense of others. We believe in quality over quantity, in choosing consciously, and in investing in things that matter. Because, as I always say, “the cheaper price comes with a price.” It’s time we all started making choices that matter, for our feet, and for the planet.
