We take a buy less, buy better approach since fast fashion leads to excess inventory and waste. As the second most polluting industry in the world, we believe the fashion industry needs to move to a slower, more circular approach that promotes reuse, repair and recycling. 

We mindfully source the highest quality, most durable materials and look to use natural, recycled and plastic-free materials whenever we can. Our leathers are Leather Working Group Certified — meaning they’re a sub-product of the meat industry and meet high environmental and ethical practices.

We partner with artisans in boutique factories in beautiful Northern Portugal. Because of our close relationships with them, we are able to produce in small batches, which helps to reduce waste and excess inventory. Scraps are repurposed in nearby factories to make small goods.

We create our shoes with longevity in mind, but know that sometimes parting ways is unavoidable, so we’ve set up programs to avoid landfill waste through donating with Soles4Souls, and recycling with Terracycle. Our packaging is made from recycled materials and is meant to be reused to store your shoes (or favorite things!) before recycling.

We realize that when you create anything new there’s an impact, so we offset our transportation emissions from our manufacturers in Portugal to our warehouse in California through Cool Effect. We also offer EcoCart at checkout if you'd like to offset the impacts to your doorstep.

We believe in fair pay and climate justice in the fashion industry and our founder is a supporter and ambassador of the global advocacy group Remake. We are big advocates for positive change in helping make the fashion industry more just, ethical and sustainable for current and future generations.
