I have had the tendency to seek out small businesses for a while now. Mostly because I believe that the quality of the products is better and it is a much nicer experience buying from people who you can talk to or even know personally.
Why did I do this? I just followed my intuition. I did not research or have more background knowledge to fully own that approach, let alone be able to share it with others with solid reasons.
Then I found www.cobbledgoods.com because I got to know it`s founder Ariel.
Ariel created this discovery platform for ethically-made, sustainable shoes. He wants to provide a viable alternative to buying from major fashion conglomerates. His big goals is to decentralise the entire footwear industry!
I was curious and highly motivated to learn more. Many hours of reading later, I know that I want to support Ariel in what he does in whatever way I can.
Let me introduce you to Ariel Fabbro, founder of Cobbled Goods.
I am so in awe about his work because it is a massive amount of time that goes into creating his platform. He dedicates his resources on this focus because he truly cares.
I see his passion and I share his concern:
“The bigger a company grows, the greater the power imbalance between itself and the rest of society.”
He has seen the effect of that imbalance and how it influences the production of shoes. That is when he started to create his shopping guides.
His FAQ section is a good place to start.
To be continued …
