I did not know how much difference in the production of shoes there can be until I came across www.cobbledgoods.com
A slow-fashion platform focused on sustainable footwear. It curates and showcases independent, sustainable footwear brands—offering over 100 alternatives to mainstream megacorporations. I have not heard from 99% of those companies before. An incredible resource for understanding the footware industry and what I can do for myself, meaning my feet, while supporting the shift needed in the footware industry.
The platform is designed to make thoughtful shopping choices simple for consumers who want to avoid fast fashion and greenwashing. That is me.
Just what I needed:
- vocabulary to explain
- facts behind
- tools to find my choice.
I see the research effort that goes into this: it carefully selects small-scale, sustainable footwear brands from around the world.
Transparency is a key value coming through in all the publications called Guides. For me it is essentiel to focus on genuine sustainability, high quality, repairability rather than marketing claims, brand names and looks.
I love the Mission:
Helps shoppers stop funding fast fashion and large corporations
In essence, it’s a marketplace and discovery platform for ethically-made, sustainable shoes that wants to provide a viable alternative to buying from major fashion conglomerates.
Stay tuned!
We will definitely write more about this topic …
