Made for Wherever You Belong

The ROMA, our most-loved slip-on, reimagined with two beloved characters from one of Finland’s most enduring stories.

In 1945, author Tove Jansson introduced the world to Moominvalley, a small valley by the sea where curiosity is encouraged, kindness matters, and there is always somewhere to return to. For more than 80 years, and in more than 60 languages, Moomin has carried that spirit around the world.

At VIBAe, we believe a great pair of shoes should feel a little like that. The ROMA was made to be lived in: soft, vegetable-tanned leather that softens with every wear, an ergonomic shape designed to support your feet through the day, and a slip-on design that makes getting out the door easy.

It's the shoe you do not think twice about, because it already feels like it belongs to you.

That is what brought these two Finnish stories together.

Not simply a character on a shoe, but two ideas of belonging in one pair: the feeling of being comfortable wherever you are, and the feeling of having somewhere to call home.

Moomin, on Preto Black

The heart of Moominvalley.

For Moomintroll, the world is always worth exploring, and home is always worth coming back to. He is curious without being reckless, brave without needing to prove it, and kind without making a fuss about it.

On the Preto Black, his patch sits alongside a sunny yellow star, a small flash of colour on a classic black shoe made for everyday life.

A little piece of Moominvalley, wherever the day takes you.

Yes to Kindness

Little My, on Fawn Tan

Small, fierce, and never afraid to say what she thinks.

Little My says exactly what she means, answers to no one, and has no interest in doing things just because everyone else does.

On the Fawn Tan, her patch is paired with a fiery red star against warm, earthy leather. Bold without trying to be, just like Little My.

A shoe for the days you know exactly who you are.

Yes to Fierceness

With love and care

FAMILY MAKES EVERYTHING BETTER

Every pair starts with vegetable-tanned leather, worked by hand in a family-run factory in Portugal.

Each patch is placed and stitched with the same care as the stitching underneath it, because to us, the details you cannot see matter just as much as the ones you can.

It is craft, repeated pair after pair, until every movement becomes second nature.

By Hand

Drag

A Finnish story we grew up with. A Finnish shoe we built from the ground up. Somehow, they belong together.
