More than 90% of the shoes you see every day are manufactured using adhesives.
Many of the adhesives used are solvent-based.

They volatilize as they bond, producing toxic fumes.

That's why shoe factories require ventilation equipment.
However, complete exhaust is not possible.

Normally, shoemaking requires expensive equipment and skilled techniques.

We aim to create high-quality products that incorporate local characteristics and use local materials, without mass production.

By creating a system where people can purchase these products from trusted sources, we aim to build a cycle where both users and makers can become prosperous and happy.
