FOUNDED
in VIENNA, Austria. 2018.
BOTKA is a lifestyle fashion brand with focus on plant based leather alternative materials, timeless design and hand made quality production.
An ancient craft, a long tradition of the leather industry. I got my first leather jacket when I was 12. Leather stood for quality and durability. Little did I know about the negative impact that the leather industry has on our environment, on the people and especially on the 12 billion animal lives annually.
My name ist Zuzana and my love to nature and animals inspired me to start the search for a sustainable material alternative to leather. Today, with new technologies it's time to rethink the old ways to create a new sustainable world. The new industry of plant based leather alternatives remains my main focus.
REALITY IS THe foundation of building a dream.
LIVE URBAN, THINK NATURE.
GOAL |1| creation of sustainable, timeless, expressive fashion from vegan, plant based leather alternatives
At the moment you can find products made from Pinatex, Desserto, Malai and Mirum in my collection.
With the Live urban, think nature initiative, I want to point out new, possible, creative ways. Because urban life and nature do not exclude each other. We can bring GIVE and TAKE back into balance. My products are the ambassadors of the new era that more and more people are slowly becoming aware of.
GOAL |2| animal, nature and environment welfare.
Together with you, by sharing, talking and information exchange, I would like to lead attention to important topics and new opportunities. We can help shape and change the future of the leather industry in a sustainable manner. With vegan, plant-based leather alternatives, this part of the fashion industry remains my focus.
GOAL |3| building a transparent community.
If we support and help each other to actively build and fulfill our dreams as well as act in a problem-solving manner, we can create a sustainable, secure base for growth and simultaneously have a positive influence on our shared consciousness.
