Natural materials like jute, cotton, linen, and bamboo were utilised to create the shoes in this collection, which includes boots and medium-heeled shoes. These fibers are hand-spun and hand-woven into textiles. These are 100% biodegradable and recyclable materials. Natural teak wood was utilised as the heel in an effort to decrease the usage of plastics. The round form and different heel shapes are designed to provide the user greater ground contact so that it is ergonomic.

I've described how the material is woven on our looms and the design process for the heel.
