Dali Azores is a vegan shoe produced with cork textile, cork-a-tex (international awarded Portuguese yarn) in a handcraft textile, a natural rubber sole and a recycled lining. We choose Portuguese cork because, besides having sustainable extraction, it's a natural, recyclable, sustainable and vegan material. The heritage and beauty from the Azorean Repasso (17thC), led the brand to work with a local crafter and developed a textile with the tech yarn, using a natural colour palette – is incredible sustainable due to the use of cork and craft work, a very delicate work and a soft and dry touch.

Bio
Marita Moreno is a Portuguese brand of fashion accessories created with a unique and ethical perspective - the history of the products is fundamental for its definition as a "slow fashion" brand. We use local and national endogenous resources, artisanal and industrial. We are constantly in search of how to create and produce sustainable design objects with history that are used in everyday life. Ethics, transparency in production and social responsibility have always been intrinsic values to us. We care about the creative process and our models have a unique design and are made to last.
