Vans team up with socially responsible fashion brand Della to create this capsule collection of footwear and raise awareness to Della’s work with empowering women in Ghana.

The collection itself features the Era, Authentic and Sk8-Hi (slim and reissue), each made from handcrafted, one-of-a-kind textiles made from sustainable materials by women in Ghana. With this in mind, each pair will be a one-of-a-kind piece, following the below visual themes.

Based in LA, Della employs and helps women in Ghana, providing literacy classes, money management workshops, social security and healthcare benefits alongside jobs and skill training. It’s always nice to hear about brands coming through with such a strong ethical footprint, and it’s great to see larger more established brands such as Vans supporting them to the fullest.

Head to the Vans website for more information on the collection and keep your eye on Vans stockists and stores for the release later this month.
