SOLS is a women-owned footwear brand founded by sister duo Liz and Cici that celebrates their Mexican-American culture and supports artisans. Every pair of SOLS is ethically designed, woven and finished by artisans from Mexican pueblitos. SOLS pays fair wages so makers can provide for their families. Without SOLS, many of these artisans would have to travel far distances to sell their shoes or take their children out of school to work. SOLS are made from sun tanned leather shaped with vegetable oil or vegan cactus leather. Natural and recycled rubber. And non-toxic, water-based glue.

The Ethical Silk Company makes responsibly harvested mulberry silk goods. Mulberry silk is extracted after the moth has left the cocoon, leaving the moth unharmed. This kind method results in a beautiful matte lustre. Everything is designed in Ireland and made in India by fair trade tailor Mehera Shaw. Block printed products are hand dyed with low impact, AZO free dyes. A water filtration system removes residue so it can be recycled and reused for fabric washing, and a rainwater catchment system reduces water use. Production is limited to short and repeat runs. Careful pattern placement minimises waste. And older stock is repurposed into smaller items. 10% of profits are donated to Jeevan Jyothi AIDS Centre in India and Focus Ireland, a charity that works to prevent people becoming, remaining or returning to homelessness.

They only use sustainable materials like organic cotton and Tencel. Cotton products are GOTS certified. They use inks free from harmful chemicals. That means no chlorine bleach, acetone, formaldehyde or heavy metals. Their supply chain follows stringent labor standards, including payment of a living wage, safe working conditions and absolutely no child labor. They offset some of their carbon emissions by planting a mangrove tree for every order.
