Responsible footwear: Lottusse’s commitment

At Lottusse, we understand that the art of shoemaking goes beyond simply creating shoes. It’s about a symphony of tradition, precision and ethical commitment. Our dedication to excellence goes hand in hand with an unwavering responsibility towards the environment and our social surroundings.

What is responsible footwear and why is it important?

Responsible footwear is a holistic philosophy that reflects a global shift towards greater environmental awareness and ethical behaviour in the fashion industry. It’s not just about producing shoes with a minimal carbon footprint, but also about adopting a holistic focus that includes fair labour practices, the selection of ecological materials and the engineering of a more extensive lifecycle for each product.

The relevance of this integral perspective is anchored in its potential to significantly mitigate the negative impact on the environment and foster a greener future. Moreover, it symbolises a commitment to social justice by ensuring decent working conditions for the people behind every pair of shoes.

By choosing responsible footwear, we not only contribute to the preservation of our ecosystems, we also support producing communities and bring about a conscious culture of consumption. This is a bold step towards promoting an industry that truly values both people and the planet.

What makes a shoe responsible?

A responsible shoe is one that is produced not just with quality and durability in mind, but also the social well-being of those producing it and respect for the environment throughout every stage of its lifespan.

A responsible leather shoe is distinguished by the fact that it integrates ethical and ecological considerations in all its processes, from the selection of materials to production and distribution:

Ethical Sourcing of Leather: Using leather obtained from responsible sources where animal welfare is guaranteed and sustainable management practices are adhered to, minimising the impact on the fauna and its habitat.

Ecological Tanning Processes: Making leather using tanning methods that are less harmful to the environment, reducing the use of toxic chemicals and favouring those that are natural or are ecologically certified.

Ethical Manufacturing: Ensuring that along each stage of the production chain, fair, safe and enriching working conditions are maintained for every worker involved.

Long-Lasting Design: Creating shoes that are not just timeless in terms of style but also highly durable, encouraging less frequent replacements and reducing excessive consumption.

Recyclability and Reparability: Prioritising the capacity to recycle or repair the footwear at the end of its lifespan, fostering a circular economy and reducing the generation of waste.

A responsible leather shoe is one whose production is aligned with an ethical approach of total respect: for animals, for the people involved in its production and for the environment. This focus guarantees that the consumer is able to enjoy a product of quality and beauty with a clear conscience, knowing they’ve chosen a more sustainable and fair option.
