Materials and Transparency
Grounded People ensures the materials used in its products align with its sustainable fashion values. The vegan leather and suede fabrics used in the Oli and Mika shoes are sourced from Grupo Morón, a leader in innovative textile technology. The breathable and waterproof onMicro microfiber fabric is designed to minimize waste and reduce the environmental impact of the production process. To promote transparency, each shoe box features a QR code that allows customers to trace the origins of the fabric and materials used. Furthermore, these eco-conscious shoe boxes are made from recycled materials, further reducing the brand’s carbon footprint.
Justus explained, “We want to be transparent with our customers about the materials we use in our products, and the QR code is a fun and transparent method for us to prove our commitment to sustainable fashion.”
