WE ARE SUSTAINABLE
Sustainable fashion is both a trend and a movement growing fast. For us, though, it has been a part of our vision and collection for many years. To keep doing what we do we have to look at many aspects, the impact on our environment not the least. Sustainability looks different for each brand and company but for us these are the key points.
Slow fashion
Is a design approach focusing on reflection and awareness, were quality rules over quantity. The design is classic yet modern and lasts for more than one season.
Good quality
Let the shoes last longer and by that decrease the consumption. For this to work you need to take good care of your shoes, treat them with love and care.
These are the facts of today, shoes that are cared for last longer.
Local handcrafted production
For us Portugal was the closest and best production country. Our factories follow the REACH agreement and EU law regarding working conditions, rules, and salaries. All our shoes are handcrafted by artisans in Portugal with highly skilled craftmanship behind every little detail.
Recycled materials
We only use recycled materials in all boxes, hang tags and paper products. We also use a lot of recycled materials in the shoes, from lining to outsoles.
Upper materials
When it comes to upper materials we use genuine leather that is either vegetable tanned, chrome-free or heavy metal-free. Or we use our vegan upper material made from recycled polyester & recycled cotton.
Lining materials
We only use linings that are either chrome-free leathers, wool or warm textil made of recycled materials. The wool is always non mulesing certificated.
Minimize waste
Our goal is that no material should be wasted and therefore you might sometimes see small spots or marks on the leather. This “non perfect”, ever so beautiful leather is natural, unique.and a proof of sustainablility.
