INTERVIEW CREATORS: Pauline Robert, Co-founder of Humaya

Humaya is the brand of shoes made in Portugal and 100% made from dormant leather stocks. Alisson and Pauline, the founders, are keen to link commitment and vitamin products. At Rafale, we love their ultra comfortable and colorful shoes!

Who is your role model in terms of style?

What I love is the French style: just putting on a little t-shirt and a little pair of pants gives you a disheveled effect and you have that extra “je ne sais quoi”.

What is your style for summer?

I always wear slightly short dresses with lots of frills, lots of ruffles, or a long, flowing dress with a bit of a slit on the side and I always have a pair of sandals with me.

Can you describe your outfit to me?

I'm wearing a men's suit jacket that I found with a frilly Ralph Lauren shirt, basic Levi's jeans and I'm wearing the silver Humayas.

What will we never see you wearing?

What I will ever wear I think is crocs. It's super comfortable, I admit that but I can't, I always need it to be a minimum dressy even for casual moments

Your everyday basic?

A little white t-shirt, jeans and little sandals. Then you add lots of little jewelry to accessorize and it's perfect.

The piece you dream of giving yourself?

A big leather jacket, a beautiful bomber jacket, very nice leather, that I have never treated myself to.

Your favorite model from Humaya?

The moccasin is really my little slipper, it’s my little sneaker. I can really go miles with it. It still has this heel and above all it has a retro style which goes very well. I love wearing it with a little dress or a skirt and ruffled socks.

What are the next steps at Humaya?

We kind of want to diversify with Humaya, especially with leather. in fact with us the principle is that we recover dormant stocks for the manufacture of our shoes. We want to move on to something else like using fish leather. It should give a bit of a glittery effect, that could be nice .

Why did you want to join us?

I love the concept of bringing together brands that are ethical, for us it's the future And we happily joined the platform.
