Your commitments

1 - Where are ME.LAND manufactured?

ME.LAND are designed in Montmartre in Paris and entirely manufactured in Portugal or Italy. They are made by expert craftsmen with golden hands in Feilgeiras (PT) or Civitanova Marche (IT) with qualitative materials sourced within a radius of 20km around the factory.


2 -What are the working conditions of your subcontractors?

Our workshops are located in Europe. The laws of the European community guarantee us decent working conditions at our suppliers. But for us it’s not enough. We made sure that the Italian or Portuguese craftsmen who work for us are paid a fair price because without their know-how we would not exist. We have signed a charter with our suppliers to ban child labor, maintain a living wage and ensure working comfort in the workplace. An essential action to guarantee a quality product.


3 - What is your commitment ?

From the begining, we are committed.


Committed to our craftsmen by checking their working conditions and remuneration. Because without their know-how we would not exist.


Also committed to limiting our carbon footprint. We work with materials sourced within 20 kms of the factory, rather than bringing them in from Italy or the other side of the world. The lightness of our shoes is also a very good sign of respect. Above all made for comfort, this lightness contributes to a lower carbon emission during the transport of goods.


We didn't stop there! because all our materials now come from waste. That's right, why re-produce what already exists?

- All leathers come from food industry waste. We have ensured responsibility for our sources of supply as no animal should be killed for its skin or fur.


- All our nylons, whether technical, neoprene, lining, coating or woven, come from the recycling of ocean plastics. They are certified © SEAQUAL INTIATIVE.

SEAQUAL organization promotes a reduction in overfishing by compensating for the loss of income of fishermen by recycling fishing for plastic waste in the oceans. The waste is then recycled into thread or coating. We use them in all possible forms. The SEAQUAL label is not only a quality label, but it also makes it possible to trace all the fibres used from the fisherman, to the finished product. All steps are recorded under a unique number for complete transparency.

SEAQUAL is above all a community serving our planet and our oceans.


- Our latest Vivace sole is also a fine example of responsible commitment, since we use off-cuts from rubber production from other soles mixed with crumbs from plastic caps.


Let’s not forget our packaging, which is also totally recycled: cardboard for boxes or cards and cotton for pouches.


At ME.LAND, we are happy to offer fair trade, eco responsible and committed products.
