What is Good Guys Don't Wear Leather?

Good Guys Don't Wear Leather is a Parisian label that makes vegan footwear. Its shoes do not use animal leather, and the brand name is a playful nod to Morrissey, the singer and animal-rights advocate.

Products and positioning

The collection has a retro, playful look. It includes Oxfords, often in two tones and in colours such as baby pink and canary yellow, and penny loafers in ocean blue or a red and pink colour block. Materials include canvas, vegan leather and other textiles such as denim.

Fashion press has compared the design approach to that of Rachel Antonoff for Bass.

Distribution and pricing

The shoes are sold online, generally for under €200 and often for well under that, which places the label in the accessible part of the footwear market. Its styles also appear on specialist vegan and sustainable fashion retailers such as Content Beauty and Wellbeing.
