Ruthie Davis Debuts Apple Leather Heels for Spring

Ruthie Davis, known for her sky-high heels and commitment to sustainable practices, is taking a bold step forward with her Spring 2025 "Bio" collection. Embracing a micro-environmental footprint, the independent brand introduces innovative, bio-based leather crafted from apple waste.

The star of the collection is Uppeal™ by Mabel Industries, a revolutionary material that redefines vegan leather. Unlike traditional alternatives relying heavily on fossil-based resources, Uppeal™ delivers exceptional quality, durability, and a luxurious feel, all while being animal-friendly.

Davis showcases this groundbreaking material in two stunning, wearable heel heights. Fans of her iconic "Candy" silhouette will rejoice in the 5.75-inch platform, while those seeking a more grounded elegance can opt for the new "Yardley" design, a chic 4-inch single sole heel, as pictured. Both styles are available in classic black.

Crucially, these bio-based creations are priced identically to Davis’s 100% leather options, proving that sustainability and style need not come at a premium. "We want to encourage sustainable choices, not deter them with exorbitant costs," states Davis.

Uppeal™ transforms waste from the apple juice and jam industry, diverting tons of skin, pulp, and seeds from landfills. This waste is dehydrated into powder and combined with polyurethane, creating a material that perfectly mimics the look and feel of traditional leather. Davis's collaboration with this Italian innovator underscores her commitment to minimizing waste across her entire business, a philosophy detailed on her "Impact" page.

"Bio by Ruthie Davis" allows fashion-forward individuals to make a powerful statement with heels that are as kind to the planet as they are to their feet.
