Own a pair
before they exist.
A commissioned pair of vegan luxury shoes, handcrafted in the ateliers that make for the world's most respected maisons — under the creative direction of Mark Schwartz. Created only after you say yes.
“Commissioned, not mass produced.”
Premium plant-based materials, no compromise on beauty.
Made in the same ateliers as the great maisons.
Your pair begins only once you commission it.
Commissioned now, then never produced again.
A collection that
begins with you.
Luxury is changing. Instead of buying shoes that have already been produced, you are invited to commission a pair created specifically for you.
Cheetah Stories and Re:Nova share one belief: that true luxury is honest — about how it's made, who makes it, and what it's made from. Together we're opening a single window to commission The Founding Collection: handcrafted, vegan, and made only for those who ask for it.
When the window closes on 31 August, production begins — and never repeats. There is no restock. Only the pairs commissioned now will ever exist.
"It isn't simply footwear. It's a story you helped create."
Designed by
Mark Schwartz.
[Short bio — Mark Schwartz's background and design philosophy. Confirm approved bio.] Under his direction, every pair in The Founding Collection is considered, deliberate, and made to last.

Made where
luxury is made.
Your shoes are handcrafted in the same factories that produce for some of the world's most respected luxury houses. The same hands, the same standards — now working on a pair that is unmistakably yours.
Vegan,
without compromise.
We use premium next-generation vegan materials chosen for their beauty, durability, and conscience. Luxury you can feel — and feel good about.
Supple, next-generation plant-based leather.
Durable weave from reclaimed fibres.
Responsibly sourced, handcrafted base.
Choose the pair
you'll commission.
A considered range of silhouettes. Select your style, and we'll begin.
Walk the journey
before you wear it.
Reserve your pair with a deposit and secure your place in the Founding Collection.
Your materials are selected and production starts.
Receive beautifully designed updates as your shoes come to life.
Your remaining balance is spread across production milestones.
After a final quality check, your pair travels to your door.
Pay as your
shoes are made.
Because each pair is made to order, your payment follows the craft. You begin with a deposit to commission your pair, then complete the balance across production milestones — so you're paying for something you can watch come to life.
Secures your slot and begins production.
As making begins.
As your pair nears completion.
The final balance, before your shoes travel to you.
You'll never be asked for more than the stage your shoes have reached.
Instead of waiting silently,
you'll follow along.
Every update brings your pair closer — and makes it more yours.
Most brands sell products.
We invite you into the making.
You won't just buy a pair of shoes. You'll follow them being made — from the first material to the final stitch. By the time they arrive, they already mean something.
Open until 31 August.
Then never again.
Orders close on 31 August 2026. Production begins immediately after. There is no ongoing stock and no mass production — only the pairs commissioned in this window will be made.
See how
they're made.
Step inside the ateliers and watch a single pair take shape — from the first cut of vegan leather to the final stitch, in the same workshops that craft for the world's great maisons.
Everything you
might ask.
Created only
after you say yes.
The window closes 31 August. Commission your pair and follow it, step by step, from making to yours.
