QUALITÉ + UPCYCLING = DURABILITÉ
En matière de mode durable, tout commence par le choix des matériaux. Sélectionner des matières résistantes, recyclables et de qualité, c’est s’assurer que tes sandales durent plus longtemps, limitant les déchets et permettant aux produits de vivre plusieurs vies. En privilégiant des matériaux recyclés et éco-responsables, on réduit notre empreinte écologique et préserve les ressources naturelles. C’est une mode engagée pour une planète plus propre, prouvant qu’on n’a pas à choisir entre style et avenir durable.
PLUSIEURS VIES, COMME LES CHATS
En transformant les déchets en vêtements, on empêche qu’ils finissent dans l’océan… ou au fond des placards. Les tongs récupérées deviennent nos semelles, le liège recyclé apporte du confort, et le coton recyclé réchauffe notre collection d’hiver. Chaque matériau raconte une histoire, prouvant que la mode ne doit pas être éphémère. Parce qu’au fond, qu’y a-t-il de plus stylé qu’un look qui a un passé et un vrai sens ?
the process
step by step
COLLECTION, SORTING & CLEANING
Every year, we team up with Trash Hero to rescue thousands of flip-flops from Southeast Asia's beaches. We sort them by colour and give them a thorough cleaning. This prep work is the first step in transforming these discarded sandals into the vibrant materials for our unique creations.
SHREDDING
We have special machinery that shreds those flip-flops into tiny little pieces which make the colourful confetti-like base for our Nuo soles. The shreds go through another cleaning session before they are heat pressed into the final layers.
OUR ICONIC NUOS LAYER
We do our best to mix the shreds in bright colour combinations. Every sheet that we make is unique, some are darker, some light, some more red, blue, green or black, which is the beauty of our Nuo layers.
ASSEMBLY
The Nuos layers are shipped to Spain where they are assembled with the rest of our recycled materials into the final sandals. This is all done by hand by skilled and experienced workers.
a small team making waves
Valentina is from Austria. She loves sports, travelling, and speaking up when something isn’t right. The environment, equality, LGBTQ+ rights. She doesn’t just care about these things, she acts on them. That energy shapes a lot of what we do.
Hadrien is our Belgian with a sweet tooth. He brings heart, humour and a strong sense of responsibility to the team. He cares deeply about what kind of world we’re building, and keeps us moving when things get tough.
Terence is our UK guy. Big food lover, big panda fan, but also deeply committed to making a change. He’s the reminder that you can care about the planet and still enjoy life along the way.
how we met
We met at university. Different backgrounds, different personalities, different ways of thinking. That’s exactly why it works. We challenge each other. We balance each other out. And we’re building this together, turning our differences into something that actually makes a difference.
a young start-up from europe
We’re also proud to be a young start-up figuring things out as we go. It’s not easy building something responsible in a world dominated by fast fashion giants with massive budgets and louder voices. Standing out is hard. Being heard is harder. So every single person who chooses our sandals - who makes a statement by wearing them - genuinely helps us keep going. Your support isn’t just a purchase. It’s fuel.
