Cheetah Stories

Cheetah Stories is a Swiss conscious luxury brand creating vegan high heels. It was founded by Fiorella Erni, a professional negotiator who spent over a decade in humanitarian negotiation, much of it in war zones, and now negotiates corporate deals. She did much of that work in heels, because standing tall was how she held her ground, and that is the feeling every pair is made to give. The collection is designed by Mark Schwartz, the shoe designer mentored by Roger Vivier and Andy Warhol, whose work has walked runways around the world and been worn by Madonna, Lady Gaga and Oprah, among many others. Each pair is handcrafted in Italy by artisans who have shaped fine footwear for generations, using bio-based materials made from oranges, grapes, corn and mushrooms.
