Continuing its ethos as a trully ethical footwear brand, Po-Zu's just launched Summer 2017 collection continues to marry great design with sustainable materials, all handmade in Portugal. The brand features its signture Po-Zu Foot Mattress™ to bring comfort promising to give a bounce to every step.
The collection features cork sneakers for men, and new feminine flats and wedges for women, using sustainable materials such as cork, organic cotton, Piñatex™ and chrome-free leather.
The Brisk sneaker worn by model above can be customized in more than 21,600 ways of colour combinations to make it the wearer's own design.
Among my favourites for ladies are the “Ello” slip-on plimsolls shown above and the “Wren” wedges here at right, available in gold, silver, cream and black. Made with sustainable textile Piñatex™, I'm told these designs give outstanding performance in durability and breathability, whilst also being one of the most ecologically-viable vegan alternatives to leather.
Po-Zu’s ergonomic design and comfort features include shock-absorbing natural latex-cushioned inserts, a highly comfortable shape, and a beech wood wedge from sustainably-managed forests in Spain.
Sven Segal, the founder of the Po-Zu and its managing director Safia Minney (founder of sustainable fashion brand People Tree) talked to My Fashion Connect Global in March this year about the sustainable materials they use and the new designs in their new office in north London.
