As part of our philosophy, taking responsibility for protecting our environment is one of our major goals. That’s why we strive towards becoming more sustainable with the implementation of processes and materials that are non-polluting and organically sourced. We also seek to work with suppliers that share our planet-first philosophy and use certified processes that ensure high quality materials while protecting the environment.
VEGETABLE TANNED LEATHER
Our leather, the most important resource in our huaraches, is vegetable tanned following a traditional, 200-year-old method and extensive 14-step process that takes up to 28 days. The cow hides are dyed using plant and earth-based tanning agents instead of harmful chemicals, and are naturally dried outside over multiple days.
Apart from the tanning process, we try to keep our leather as ethical as possible. The cows come from wide-open farms and to keep transportation short and emissions low, all our leather is sourced locally.
Natural rubber crepe comes from an indigenous South American tradition that involves a handcrafted process of several steps and requires expert knowledge and experience.
Crepe rubber gives our huaraches a natural luxury finish, while also making them incredibly flexible, resistant and comfortable. This incredible material is capable of providing long lasting durability, yet thanks to its all natural composition, is also completely biodegradable.
Our boots are equipped with this innovative sole made from old rubber tires that would usually go to landfill. We decided to give these tires a second life. As soles for our boots, the recycled tire material provides extra durability, grip and support with every step. Additionally, because tires are a highly resistant material that can take up to 80 years to decompose, recycling them helps keeps our planet cleaner.
Our huaraches are handwoven with long strips of leather. In the cutting process some of the leather straps are cut too short and can't be used for production. At the moment, we send part of these scraps to a fashion university in Italy where the students can use the material for their projects.
However, we aim to eliminate all material waste. That's why we are currently also designing and developing products that can use these leftovers.
As part of our commitment we'll continue to work towards implementing better materials and processes to our products and partner with people who are equally as committed to this goal as we are.
