MATERIALS & SUSTAINABILITY
Discover how our shoes are meticulously handcrafted by our exceptional manufacturers and the sustainable practises and materials that go into SM shoes.
OUR DRIVE TO DELIVER THE BEST
At Sans Matin, we are committed to creating shoes that not only elevate your comfort and style, but that also align with a sustainable and ethical future. Our dedication to quality and environmental responsibility is woven into every step of our production process.
By choosing Sans Matin, you’re not just purchasing a pair of shoes – you’re supporting a brand that is deeply committed to reducing its environmental impact while offering superior craftsmanship.
SUSTAINABLY & LOCALLY SOURCED
Our shoes are made with only the finest materials, ensuring comfort, longevity and performance. We use Leather Working Group certified Gold standard leathers, sourced from Europe, where leather craftsmanship is renowned for its quality and sustainability. This certification guarantees that our leathers are produced with strict environmental controls, ensuring minimal impact on the ecosystem.
Our canvases and bamboo lining are also sourced from our supplier in Europe and are made from recycled and ecological materials to the highest of standards.
OUTSOLES THAT HAVE IT ALL
All our outsoles are made from 60% natural rubber. Natural rubber is a very sustainable and flexible material extracted from rubber trees. Each rubber tree has a lifespan of 30+ years, in which no tree is tapped continuously over its lifespan. New rubber trees are then planted in their place creating a closed loop of sourcing the natural rubber.
This solution for outsoles enables us to maximise sustainability, comfort & durability.
IT'S ALL IN THE DETAIL
Additionally to the uppers and outsoles, we’ve incorporated Tencel laces to all our shoes. Tencel is made from sustainably sourced wood pulp and made into threads, died using eco-friendly processes and woven together to form our laces. This further reduces the carbon footprint of our products.
SUPPLY CHAIN AND MANUFACTURING
At Sans Matin, we believe that sustainability goes beyond just the materials. All of our materials and suppliers are based in Europe, ensuring that we reduce unnecessary transportation emissions and support local industries. This approach helps us minimise our production carbon footprint while maintaining the highest standards of craftsmanship.
Ecological & ethical manufacturing practices are at the forefront of our manufacturer's work to deliver sustainable and ultimate quality shoes for our customers.
BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER
Our drive for perfection is to provide our fantastic customers with shoes that are more than just an accessory, they are a statement of responsibility, quality, and forward-thinking design.
SM shoes have been meticulously designed with the very best materials and with sustainability at the forefront of our minds without sacrificing quality, comfort or style.
These are your new luxury shoes.
