About the Brand:
Dolce Vita

Our Story

In 2001, amidst the vibrant energy of New York City’s Lower East Side, Dolce Vita was born. This dream, first drafted on a cocktail napkin by our founders while studying in Italy, paid homage to their favorite Italian bar. They envisioned a brand that would embody the essence of ‘la dolce vita’ -- the sweet life. This simple idea has since grown into a movement that stands for much more. At Dolce Vita, it’s not just about the shoes. It’s about embracing a lifestyle that celebrates creativity, inclusivity, and responsibility. Our collections are designed for the dreamers, the tastemakers, and the confident individuals who inspire us every day. We believe that true style goes beyond fashion trends. It’s about standing with our community, supporting underrepresented voices, and responsibly running a company that we can be proud of with every step.

Mission

At Dolce Vita, our mission is to create stylish, high-quality footwear that empowers individuals to express their unique identities while making a positive impact on the world. We aim to set new standards in the fashion industry by prioritizing inclusivity, sustainability, and community engagement.

Quality at an Attainable Price

Quality is at the heart of everything we do. Our shoes are meticulously crafted with attention to detail, ensuring durability, comfort, and style. We truly believe that we have a style for everyone, at an attainable price range from $80 - $295.

Inclusive Sizing

Fashion should be for everyone, regardless of size. At Dolce Vita, we are dedicated to size inclusivity, offering a wide range of sizes to ensure that every individual can find the perfect fit. Most core styles are available in sizes 5-13, with some extending up to size 15, including options for standard and wide widths, and wide calf for certain boots. We are excited to announce that extra wide calf boots will be launching Fall 2024. To ensure the best fit for wide calf boots, we also offer a sizing kit available to order.

Making an Impact

Social Responsibility: We believe in making a positive impact on society by supporting gender equality, diversity, and inclusion. Empowering women is central to our values, and we prioritize partnering with women-owned and operated businesses at every level of our operations. We also stand firmly as allies of the LGBTQ+ community, partnering with The Trevor Project for the last 5 years to support LGBTQ+ youth. Learn more here.

Environmental Responsibility: Sustainability is integral to our design and manufacturing processes. We are committed to sourcing and integrating more sustainable materials into our products. For us, this includes materials that exert minimal or reduced impact on climate, nature, and/or people when compared to competing conventional materials serving the same purpose. To promote a more circular economy, we utilize 80% recycled packaging and collaborate with organizations like FabScrap and Recircled for recycling initiatives. In 2022, we launched our very own resale program.
