It is very important to us to leave a gentle footprint on the environment and to lessen our impact through every step of the production and shipping process. Our current goals are as follows:
By 2023, we are on track to producing our entire catalog with low-impact and natural dyes.
By 2024, our goal is to switch to a certified sustainable leather option. Whether that is plant based or a certified genuine leather is yet to be determined. Our main challenge is finidng a TRUE plant-based leather in Mexico. All current options rely heavily on supplementing plant fibers with plastics, which is ultimately worse for the environment than any other material.
By 2025, we plan on obtaining eco certifications for all of our fiber materials.
These are the main ways in which we are currently succeeding:
