Sustainability
Studio Arora supports brands prioritizing products that make a positive impact on our planet.
We encourage brands to improve environmental and social sustainability through decreasing their carbon, chemical and water footprints, while caring for the people who make their shoes by working with fair trade factories.
Every brand has a sustainable story of its own. Whether through the use of eco-friendly leathers, biodegradable materials and components, or plant-based leathers, we can provide you with a wide range of options and recommendations to help you achieve your environmental goals.
We support your sustainability needs with:
An extensive library of plant-based, PETA-friendly leathers (sourced from around the world), eco-friendly leathers, deadstock, ecotextiles and sustainable hardware and trim.
Sustainable linings and footbeds, and recyclable and biodegradable outsoles. Our factory relationships allow us to offer you PETA-approved vegan outsoles.
Packaging partners to offer you sustainable shoe and accessory boxes, dust bags, and shoe/accessory collateral with GRS and GOTS certifications. Biodegradable and upcycled options are available upon request.
3D-printing partners to ideate and prototype your designs without creating physical samples. Producing less samples saves you money and time, while reducing water usage and your carbon footprint.
In-depth expertise on how to work with these materials; we understand which materials will work best with your designs.
Our mission to create successful supply chains and eco-friendly products. We take care to set up fair, long-lasting relationships with our partners and we pay special attention to the ethical treatment of factory workers.
