Yay! This brand is part of our ethical edit!

Started by Oscar in New Zealand, Collective Canvas was created from a desire to produce slow, simple and transparent products, obsessing over the small details and the impact of every choice.

The sneakers are made from organic cotton canvas upper, lining, laces, Cork Covered Eco-Ortholite® Insole, Natural Rubber Foxing & Outsole , while the use of water-based glues further help to reduce our impact on the workers making the products, and throughout the product’s lifecycle.

They work exclusively with a single factory in China for all our production. Run by a collective of New Zealanders, British, and Chinese, both Western and Eastern values are reflected throughout the workplace culture. They pride themselves in their commitment to ethical manufacturing. All workers are paid a living wage (including health insurance and pension contributions), are provided daily meals, on-site accommodation, as well as the option of free English classes.

Collective Canvas visit quarterly, working alongside the development and production teams sourcing, adjusting, and refining until products are ready to go to market.
