ORIGEM Shoes
Ship: May 9th
Our first shoes!
On a journey to the Origins filled with inspiration and emotion, our curiosity for what is done with our hands and our awareness of what we want to add led us to this Shoe. As materials often define the measure of what is created, seeing the looms at work up close served as inspiration for the entire process.
The timelessness of ancestral techniques, in the Alentejo blanket, to which we add the innovation of renewable materials, based on corn, recycled material and cork waste, resulted in the unique characteristic of the Origem model.
Designed to be unisex, this piece promises total comfort and a unique style, giving a very distinctive touch to each look.
This shoe has been part of Benedita Formosinho 's imagination for some time now, since its origins, and now it has been possible to make it a reality.
Alentejo blanket, made on handlooms by the Lanifícios Factory, Fabricaal, in Reguengos de Monsaraz - Cultural identity of Alentejo in Portugal.

Ecological, Ethical and Sustainability Practices
The origin of our materials
The choice of our materials is very important to us.
We choose more effective, renewable and durable fabrics, while encouraging consumers to preserve and love their pieces for a long time. We select natural, recycled and sustainable materials with low environmental impact, originating in Portuguese factories.
Responsible production
All pieces are ethically manufactured in Portugal in limited quantities.
Small-scale production involves a closer relationship with people, better quality control and a sense of individuality.
Fair trade
We consider the people who make the clothes as important as the people who wear them.
We believe that it is very important to have a close relationship with all of our employees.
Based on dialogue, transparency and respect. It contributes to sustainable development, offering better commercial conditions and ensuring the rights of producers and workers. Proudly made in Portugal.
Recycling and Upcycling
We have a partnership with a Portuguese company that has a certified system through which waste is transformed into new yarn.
This process uses no synthetic chemicals and wastes no water. No dyes or chemicals are used, as the yarn results in the colors and qualities of the scraps used in the production of the yarn.
Zero waste
We also take advantage of the waste and leftovers we have from our previous collections and use handloom weaving techniques, giving them a new life and transforming them into something useful and very beautiful.
Our packaging
Our packaging is made in recycled paper boxes, scraps of paper that we have in our workshop from our suppliers and which we reuse, giving them a new life.
We use dried flowers and hemp yarn made with our utmost care and love.
