100% natural jute
Who
We source all our jute soles from a single supplier in the South of Spain, who is responsible for braiding the jute and assembling the sole.
Why
Every pair of our artisanal espadrilles is made by hand and with love. More than 70% of the materials used in their construction are sourced from nature. This means that in comparison with a typical pair of sneakers, our shoes are super sustainable. Natural jute is the main component of our espadrilles.
Jute is an eco-friendly fibre extracted from the bark of the white jute plant and it’s the beating heart of any authentic espadrille. In its natural state, jute is 100% biodegradable, And there’s more. Natural jute consumes carbon dioxide, releases oxygen and (when cultivated in crop rotations) enriches the soil for the next crop.
What's next:
This is the beginning
Right now, our Spanish partner is supplying our jute
from a range of different crops grown in Bangladesh
(the world’s second largest jute producer after India).
Our aim is to improve our understanding of the specific
supply chain challenges provided by this unique natural
material. It’s a complicated process but we’re constantly
working towards giving our customers better visibility
at every stage of the process.
Supply Chain Transparency
Our partnership with Product DNA allows us to track our product journey at every step, from source to shop. That way, you check out every detail of our story as we move towards greater sustainability.
We believe in second chances.
We now offer our pre-loved espadrilles at discounted prices.
Slowly does it. The best things in life take time. Naturally.
