For those working in high fashion, the challenge for the future is to continue creating beauty while respecting the environment, exploring sustainable materials and processes, and minimizing the impact that our production on the planet.

environment
In recent decades, we have installed a photovoltaic system powered by solar panels to supply energy to our production plants—a choice that enables us to ensure more sustainable operations today. The automation and digitalization of most business processes has also allowed us to optimize production and reduce waste. We have carried out a machinery revamp, activating motors only when machines are running, achieving energy savings of 50–60%. Finally, to reinforce our commitment to increasingly circular production, our heel factory has obtained some of the most prestigious international certifications in environmental sustainability.
