The Alpha collection is made from an innovative and sustainable grape material, thus making it possible to recycle the tons of wine waste produced by vineyards each year.

Manufacturing process
During winemaking, the grape marc, made up of skins, seeds and residues, is set aside before being dehydrated in ovens. The dry material will be ground into a fine powder before being mixed with water-based PU to become a thick paste. This paste will finally be spread on a recycled polyester fabric, before being cut and assembled by our artisans to make our shoes.

The Bêta, Alta, Velcro and Kids collections are made from corn material, a most innovative and resistant plant-based alternative.

Manufacturing process
The corn used comes from non-food crops, which therefore does not divert food resources from human or animal supply chains. Once harvested, the corn undergoes fermentation to extract dextrose, the process of which does not require the use of petrochemicals. The extracted dextrose is used to create a polymer which will be mixed with a small amount of PU to create a thick, strong fiber.

The Moka collection is made from an innovative coffee material, allowing coffee grounds from capsules to be reused.

Manufacturing process
The coffee grounds are extracted from the capsules at the Nespresso recycling center in Portugal. The coffee is dehydrated in ovens to extract the moisture, then mixed with water-based PU to solidify the material. The brown material obtained will then be spread on a thick cotton canvas, before being cut by our artisans and assembled on the shoe.
