Sustainability
Our commitment
Sustainable fashion is more than a promise for us; it's been our core philosophy for years. Each collection embodies our commitment to slow fashion, emphasizing timeless quality over fleeting trends. Beyond fashion, we're passionate about giving back through our 'Project Vita!' initiative, which lies at the heart of our charitable efforts. Join us in making every choice count towards a more sustainable future.
Handcrafted by artisans
By collaborating with skilled artisans in Europe we ensure every pair of shoes is not only made with the highest standards of quality and responsibility but also designed with beauty and functionality in mind.
With respect of resources
We take pride in our commitment to sustainability by carefully selecting materials such as vegetable-tanned leather, heavy metal-free leather, and chromium-free leather. These choices aren't just about sustainability; they're about making a conscious decision to avoid harmful heavy metals that can have adverse effects on both people and the environment.
Besides leather linings, we use wool, recycled wool or fleece linings made from recycled PET bottles that is GRS-certified. The wool we use is always non-mulesed.
Furthermore, our use of materials derived from the by-products of the meat industry reflects our ethos of minimizing waste and ensuring ethical sourcing. This approach ensures that no additional harm is inflicted on animals in the production process.
At Ten Points, we believe that every material matters. By choosing our shoes, you're not just investing in style and comfort; you're supporting a brand that prioritizes sustainability and ethical practices at every step.
Natural details
Every little detail is carefully selected to align with our commitment to sustainability. We embrace the unique beauty of natural imperfections, which allows us to minimize waste and celebrate the charm of nature in our products.
Slow fashion
We create shoes for people looking for sustainability, quality and timeless design. Slow fashion is a design approach focusing on reflection and awareness, where quality rules over quantity. It is supported by long-life and sustainable production, forming the core of our company. Each shoe design is carefully considered, infusing both style and substance.
Produced in Europe
All our products are proudly made in Europe, where we ensure that our factories are not only eco-friendly but also meet high standards for working conditions and fair wages. Our commitment to quality and responsibility extends to our suppliers, who have all agreed to follow our Code of Conduct. We believe in building strong, long-lasting partnerships with our suppliers, always aiming to do business in a way that’s good for people and the planet.
Shoes that last
Quality is important for sustainability, but high quality isn’t enough on its own if we don’t look after our shoes. Shoes that are cared for last longer so please check out our Care instructions and Shoe Care-guide for the best way to prolong the life of your shoes. Keep the box and store your shoes in it when not in use – that way they’ll last even longer!
