With every pair, we tell a story of eco-conscious design and ethical production. But what truly sets our sneakers apart as a beacon of eco craft?

In this detailed exploration, we’ll take you on a journey from the materials we source to the production processes we employ. We'll also highlight our commitment to the planet, our dedication to ethical labor practices, and the incredible style and comfort our shoes offer customers looking for both functionality and environmental responsibility. By the end, you’ll find a compelling case for choosing Cariuma for your next pair of shoes.

Materials Matter: The Heart of Our Craftsmanship

At the foundation of sustainable fashion lies the materials we choose to use. Comprised of organic, recycled, and renewable resources, our sneakers exemplify a commitment to quality without compromising the earth’s resources. We use natural rubber, bamboo, and organic cotton, carefully selected to create footwear that is as comfortable as it is eco-friendly.

The Power of Natural Rubber

1. Sustainable Sourcing: Our natural rubber comes from carefully managed rubber tree plantations. By sourcing from these sustainable farms, we eliminate the environmental degradation often associated with conventional rubber production.

2. Durability & Comfort: The elasticity and wear resistance of natural rubber allow our sneakers to last much longer than synthetic alternatives, which adds to their overall eco-friendliness.

Material	Eco-Friendliness	Durability	Comfort Level
Natural Rubber	Sustainable sourcing; biodegradable	High	Excellent
Synthetic Rubber	Non-biodegradable; often petroleum-based	Moderate	Good
Recycled Materials	Reduces waste; less energy consumption	Variable	Good

Organic and Recycled Fabrics

The materials we choose for the upper portion of our shoes include organic cotton and recycled polyester. These fabrics not only minimize environmental impact but also provide incredible comfort and breathability.

• Organic Cotton: Grown without harmful pesticides and fertilizers, organic cotton contributes to soil health and uses less water than conventional cotton farming.
• Recycled Polyester: By using recycled plastics, we help divert waste from landfills while conserving resources that would otherwise be used to produce virgin polyester.

Our sneakers, like the OCA Low Leather Sneakers, are made from these sustainable materials, ensuring that every detail is designed with eco-consciousness in mind.

The Art of Ethical Production

Effective craftsmanship extends far beyond materials; it includes the people behind the products. At Cariuma, we prioritize ethical production practices, ensuring our workforce is treated with respect and fairness.

Fair Labor Practices

1. Transparent Supply Chain: Our commitment to transparency means we work closely with our manufacturers, ensuring they adhere to fair labor practices.

2. Empowering Workers: We believe in investing in our workers by providing fair wages, safe working conditions, and opportunities for skill enhancement.

The Benefit of Local Production

• Reduced Carbon Footprint: By keeping production closer to home, we significantly decrease transportation emissions, contributing to a lower overall carbon footprint for each product.

• Quality Over Quantity: Local production allows detailed craftsmanship and higher quality control, enabling us to deliver sneakers that endure the test of time.

Our dedication to ethical labor is apparent in each sneaker, from the stylish and sustainable Salvas Leather Women to the agile CATIBA PRO Low Men.

• Timeless Appeal: Investing in sustainably made sneakers means you’re choosing long-lasting designs that won’t go out of style, reducing the need for frequent replacements.

Our sneaker collections, including Ibira Men and Ibira Women, reflect this commitment to providing stylish eco-conscious options.
