Responsibility

We recognise that every piece we craft has a lasting impact. We are committed to creating premium, seasonless collections designed with the health of people and planet front of mind.

People

Acting with care and a deep respect for traditional craftmanship, we passionately design, source and co-create with our partners abroad to bring our concepts to life. Our focus is to build strong relationships rooted in trust and reciprocity with every person in our supply chain.

Our manufacturing partners are independently audited twice a year by Qualspec, one of the leading social certification standards for factories and organisations across the globe. This certification ensures compliance to standards regarding child labour, forced or compulsory labour, health and safely, freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining.

Design

We believe designing great footwear and minimising our impact are symbiotic.

Our design philosophy is considered. Our approach to each collection is to strive to deliver luxurious products without causing unnecessary harm. Inch by inch and seam by seam, we consider the most environmentally conscious options that will support the production of our collections and stand the test of time so you can cherish your Nelson Made pieces forever.

Low Impact Materials

Our mission is to prove that it is possible to create luxurious products without causing unnecessary harm.

Footwear needs to be extremely durable, so the materials traditionally used have significant environmental impacts. To counter this, we source high quality, low impact materals including:

  • Recycled leather
  • Chrome free leather
  • Leather Working Group (LWG) certified leather 
  • Organic linen
  • OEKO TEX-certified fabrics
