The 'Reiwa Waraji' Vegan Rope Sandals: 'BOHONOMAD'

In recent times, choosing sustainable, eco-friendly items that do not burden the environment has become the standard. I would like to introduce the 'Vegan Rope Sandals' from Turkey, 'BOHONOMAD'. The more you know about it, the more you’ll want to add it to this summer’s wardrobe. This time, we talked to Manabu Shiratori, Marketing Director and Buyer at Benexy Corporation, about the environment, production background, design, and the surprisingly comfortable fit.

The Name is a Combination of Bohemian + Nomad

"Starting with the origin of the brand name, 'BOHONOMAD' is abbreviated from 'Bohemian Nomad', combining the ideas of Bohemian = a wandering lifestyle + Nomad = nomadic peoples. The brand started in 2015, in a tranquil area surrounded by olive groves near the Aegean Sea, just outside Turkey.

"These 'Vegan Rope Sandals' are made with recyclable polypropylene material, featuring outsoles made from natural rubber. The sandals are completely sustainable, using no animal-based materials whatsoever.
