Giving new meaning to the term "sustainable footwear”
Carlotha Ray, the essence of sustainable luxury
Carlotha Ray was created in 2019, the dream of its founder Mariela Schwarz Montiel. Carlotha Ray's mission is to impart all the beauty of nature into our collections of ethical luxury footwear.
Dismayed by the ecological damage caused by the millions of plastic flip-flops abandoned on our beaches every year, Schwarz Montiel took up the challenge of designing sophisticated sandals in a beautiful, natural, and sustainable way, thanks to the use of innovative materials with the least possible ecological impact.
Celebrating our Earth and preserving its beauty for future generations
Behind this vision of responsible fashion lies a family tradition of
commitment. Schwarz Montiel 's grandmother, Carlotha Despierre de Montiel, was a humanist of Paraguayan origin, who fought for the preservation of the planet and the education of young girls throughout her entire life. Aware of the importance of living in full connection with nature, she shared her empathy and strong ecological values with Mariela.
A few years later, the designer paid homage to her grandmother by naming her fashion label Carlotha Ray and her project became a true commitment to the environment.
Today, Carlotha Ray's dedication is rooted more than ever in the label's DNA.
