Either/Or

E I T H E R / O R is just three people, working together to provide the best quality shoes directly to you. Selling direct-to-consumer gives us more freedom to run our business ethically. We employ a social cooperative to weave custom textiles, use the best quality vegetable-tanned leathers, pay beyond fair wages, and offset our shipping carbon footprint. We also use post-consumer, plastic-free packaging. Selling direct also means you save the traditional retail markup! E I T H E R / O R is committed to sustainable sourcing, ethical manufacturing, and being a force for good in a changing world. Looking towards a brighter future, we are committed to staying true to ourselves and true to the ethical brand we are creating. Stay tuned! - We believe transparency is the first step to real change in the fashion industry. Companies should be held accountable for the conditions under which their products are made, and consumers should have the power to support brands based on their values. On each of our production partner pages, we provide details on fair wages, material sourcing, supplier information, and packaging. We are continually striving to be more transparent and faithfully tell the story of each pair that we produce. We believe in buying fewer, better quality items that will age beautifully and preserve our environment. Our commitment is to produce product that is classic, comfortable, and the highest quality craftsmanship. We are environmentally and socially conscious people. We are always striving to find ways to reduce waste in our supply chain through clean sourcing, mindful sampling, and small-scale production.
