FROM WORK TO PLAY

Transition Your Wardrobe

della terra is an ethical and inclusive brand continuously working towards sustainability. With sustainability, accessibility and inclusivity at the forefront of the brand, we embrace and support all facets of life. Founder & Designer Emily Landsman was inspired to create what was missing from her wardrobe while recovering from COVID-19. These transitional, inclusive styles are completely versatile footwear – della terra is focused on creating real shoes for real people.


During a time when the world of fashion and footwear has consolidated, and become comfort focused at the expense of style, many have given up entirely on aesthetics.  della terra brings a fresh, must-have take on fashion that feels accessible and versatile enough to transition your quarantine wardrobe back into the real world from day to night; work to play; urban to weekend!
