At SAOLA, our mission is clear: to create ultra-comfortable, timeless shoes made as sustainably as possible. Because fashion and eco-responsibility should always go hand in hand.
Recycled Materials for a Cleaner Future
Our shoes are designed using recycled materials like plastic bottles. Repurposing these waste materials not only gives them a second life but also helps reduce plastic pollution while creating stylish and durable products.
Ethical Factories in Vietnam
Behind every pair of SAOLA shoes are skilled hands and an unwavering ethical commitment. Our factories in Vietnam are not just production sites; they are true partners who share our values.
Our commitments:
-
Ensuring fair wages
-
Providing safe working conditions
-
Respecting every employee
Total transparency: An independent audit rated our factory with a GREEN* score of 9.2/10, proving our sincere commitment to responsible production.
Strategic Production to Reduce Our Carbon Footprint
Our factories are ideally located between our two main markets: the United States and Europe. This strategic decision allows us to minimize the distance our products travel, significantly reducing CO2 emissions from maritime transport.
A Human and Committed Collaboration
For us, responsible production also means building trust with our partners. Our Product Development guru, based in Taiwan, works closely with the factory teams in Vietnam. This proximity ensures that our ethical and environmental standards are met while fostering genuine, respectful relationships.
More Than a Brand, a Commitment
At SAOLA, we’re not following a trend—we’re building a future where fashion and sustainability go hand in hand. Every purchase is a real step toward protecting the planet.
