Did you know that less than 2% of people who make the clothes on our bodies earn a living wage (source: The True Cost)? This means that most fashion workers cannot meet their most basic needs and are held in systemic poverty. 

That’s why each pair of Joyasol shoes is individually crafted by artisanal shoemakers located in the beautiful countryside of Northern Portugal. Our factories follow strict labor and environmental regulations and are regularly monitored. Aside from creating some of the best shoes in the world, we chose Portugal because of their commitment to living wages and safe and fair working conditions.
