No (real) suede or leather here.
In 2023, the fashion industry produced 97 million tons of waste. That’s why we create timeless, recycled, and cruelty-free pieces that keep you stylish and eco-conscious. A labor of love that makes a difference.
Materials with integrity
AKANOMA’s recycled vegan suede and leather are made from refined recycled cotton, plastic fabrics, and regenerated nylon. Eco-conscious innovation meets modern style—because looking good today shouldn’t cost the planet tomorrow.
A Founder With No Limits - Cynthia Savard
After spending 10 years as a designer in the slow-fashion industry, Cynthia learned a thing or two about disrupting traditional production chains with eco-responsible products.
She realized we have all the tools to create a better world—one where style and comfort are synonymous with the respect of people, planet, and animals.. So why don’t we?
With AKANOMA, she has fused her passion for trendsetting design and eco-conscious production to develop an innovative brand that’s equal parts adventure, comfort, compassion, and style.
A note from our founder
"I believe that being part of the solution starts with understanding the problem. Being exposed to fast fashion and pieces made with animal by-products was the wake-up call that drove me to create a sustainable alternative that’s just as stylish and functional." - Cynthia Savard
It all started in SoHo
During a 2022 trip to NYC, Cynthia found herself walking endlessly—but her shoes couldn’t keep up. Searching for boots that were stylish, comfortable, eco-friendly, and vegan, she was stunned to find nothing that met her needs. In the heart of one of the world’s fashion capitals, she thought, “How can I not find what I’m looking for in New York City?”
Back at her hotel, inspiration struck. She sketched her vision on a napkin, not knowing this would become the foundation for her brand. After three years of research, development, and countless prototypes, AKANOMA launched in 2024—a testament to never giving up on your dreams.
"With AKANOMA, we’re creating modern, timeless pieces that make any place feel like home. We’re redefining what it means to look and feel good, and in the process, we’re shining a light on the hidden costs of our daily choices. We’re transforming our love for travel and style into a sustainable fashion ecosystem where everybody thrives.
From the picturesque streets of Soho to the captivating atmosphere of London, I have drawn inspiration from each place that has shaped my life and infused this essence into every creation." - Cynthia Savard
