a look behind the scenes

Founded in 1988, this partner initially established itself as a specialist in children's shoes and later successfully expanded its expertise to include adult shoes. Today, the company stands for high-quality shoe production – developed by a dynamic team that works with the best materials and technologies on the market.

Cow 98% of production is exported to Europe, which confirms the consistently high quality and reliability. The company is also considered a major player in the Portuguese market.

What makes this partner special?

Here, sneakers are created that not only look good but also impress with their inner qualities. The entire production process – from design to cutting and modeling to final assembly – is under one roof. Supported by CAD/CAM technology and precise craftsmanship, high-quality shoes are created that are individually customizable and carefully crafted.

The focus is Apple leather – a vegan, resource-saving alternative made from residues from apple juice production. Soft, durable, and comfortable to wear.

Sustainability

Sustainability is not an option here, but a standard:

• Made from apple scraps – vegan, robust and environmentally friendly
• Only what is ordered is produced – this avoids overproduction
• Recycled materials

What northern lights are created there

This is where our apple leather sneakers are created – in small series, individually tailored, with a clear design language and responsible use of materials.

Why we chose this partner

This company combines decades of experience with a spirit of innovation and responsibility. Apple leather stands for sustainable change – and for how to create something valuable from leftovers. Together we design shoes that demonstrate the future – fair, high-quality, and conscious.
