Steve Madden and Atlanta’s Slutty Vegan collab on new sneakers, handbags

ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46) - Atlanta’s Slutty Vegan restaurant is partnering with the iconic fashion brand Steve Madden to introduce the first-ever vegan sneakers and handbags.

The two items are reimagined versions of Steve Madden’s classic POSSESSION sneakers and BSETTITUP bag styles made with entirely vegan materials approved by the animal-rights group “People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals {PETA}.

According to the company, both the bag and the sneakers went through a Slutty Vegan makeover and feature the chain’s white, yellow, and red color scheme, along with its recognizable logos and slogans.

Steve Madden on the partnership: “When you encounter the kind of bold sensibility and the exploding popularity of Slutty Vegan, collaborating with them was obvious. Pinky and I share that dare-to-disrupt spirit!”

“I am thrilled that Slutty Vegan is able to partner with such an amazing company like Steve Madden,” says founder and owner Pinky Cole. “When the opportunity presented itself, it was a no-brainer. This collaboration is bigger than just a shoe — it is about showing people that you don’t have to live inside a box. You can be disruptive and break every glass ceiling, even if it means being a burger joint that has a vegan shoe!”
