PAIZO
Sustainable fashion is for everyone – including the very youngest ones. Paizo Shoes allows consciously minded parents to choose eco-friendly footwear for their children. Paizo, meaning “play” in Greek, offers stretchy, breathable and lightweight children's shoes made for play and kind to the planet. Respectful of all living beings, Paizo also donates part of its profits to animal charities.
Founder
Felesha Papa-Adams is no stranger to sustainable fashion – her shoe brand for adults, Collection & Co, is a big favourite with the conscious style crowd. But since having children, Felesha struggled with finding truly sustainable shoes for little feet. Plus, she was receiving similar requests for children's shoes from Collection & Co's existing customers. This was the spark behind the creation of Paizo.
“Stepping into a pair of sustainable and stylish shoes is sure to set our little adventurers off on the right track.”
Materials
Paizo uses the same materials as Collection & Co – recycled PET fibres and water-based polyurethane.
Production
Paizo's collections are made in Greece. The founder regularly visits the factories and ensures all styles are produced in small batches of 10-15 pairs per design.
People
All workers in the supply chain are paid a living wage.
Packaging
All the designs are packaged in recycled cardboard boxes and come with an organic tote bag.
Animals
Paizo is a 100% vegan brand.
