Each purchase helps provide full-time jobs for local artisans in Sahuayo, Michoácan, Mexico. We collaborate with them to produce our line of high quality leather huaraches, which combine tradition and fashion.

A traditional artisanal process free from harmful chemicals. Vegetable tanning utilizes raw organic materials such as tree barks, branches and leaves.

Due to its combination of flexibility and durability over time, we only use full grain leather, which is the highest quality and most valued part of the hide. Full grain leathers carry natural markings, that add character and age beautifully over time, just like all our abuelas.

Footwear companies are known to produce high waste & tend to cut abnormal shapes, often leaving unusable scraps. All our handwoven huaraches are made with fine smaller strips of leather, which allows us to use 95% of our raw material.
