How we produce

Capsule Wardrobe mit Style.

We create trendy favorites for more than one season. We rely on timeless and innovative materials. We have our collections made in perfect calculated quantities in carefully selected family businesses near Porto, in the north of Portugal.

Leather YES, but BIO.

Yes, it is a fashion revolution: our leather (Biocouro) is tanned using natural materials in a pollutant and metal-free process and is a certified, 100% biodegradable natural product. The water used for production is cleaned without residues and returned to the natural cycle.

We rely on high-quality, innovative materials with a consistently sustainable origin, like our chrome-free, European calfskin leather. Most of our leather is vegetable tanned by using alternative, chrome-free materials. For a good reason: One of the subtypes of chrome – which develops at high temperatures, for example - is carcinogenic and highly allergenic. In addition, the recovery of chromium salts is very energy consuming and produces multiple residues. Nevertheless, it is still common to use this mineral salt in leather tanning. Vegetable tanning is an organic alternative to the industrial preservation of leather skins: by using low-pollutant vegetable substances from rhubarb roots or the wood extracts of chestnut trees, the leather is processed entirely without chemical toxins or tanning agents. This method makes the leather especially soft and long-lasting.

Vegan & Recycled.

We create a lot more vegan alternatives for our most popular styles, using GOTS certified organic cotton, innovative microfibers and materials made from recycled ozean plastic waste into stylish key pieces.

Recently we have also been using highly active, partly recycled microfiber for our vegan styles, which is breathable, washable, antibacterial, hypoallergenic and of course environmentally friendly according to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100.
As a player in our fashion industry, we are aware of our own responsibility and are always on the hunt for optimization. We have always used packaging and labels made from 100% waste paper. But recycled materials are also used in our products themselves: fibers that are made from recycled organic cotton or recycled ocean plastic waste. And our sneaker soles are also made from 70% recycled rubber.

That's making a difference!

And do you know our secret star - the sneaker insole. Made especially for us and made of natural latex, eco microfiber and cork. It's not just sustainable, it's also incredibly cozy!

Care for your leather

Leather is a natural product. As such, it changes with time and retains a unique patina. Nevertheless, leather should be treated with a certain respect by ensuring proper maintenance and timely mending. It’s indispensable to waterproof the leather before wearing it to protect it from moisture. In order to ensure a long last and to prevent brittleness, it is also important to store the shoes on wooden shoe trees in order to allow them time for recovery. Leather shoes should never been worn on two consecutive days, but always be granted a rest of at least 24 hours in order to ensure complete drying. Nourishing polish should be used on a bi-weekly basis or after greater soiling. Use a horsehair brush to polish the shoes afterwards.
