Last month we kinda roused on END Footwear for making their stripped down eco-focused trail running footwear, and not telling anyone about it. With the launch of their new website last week they’ve cleared that obstacle on the path.

Although Flash-based (boo hiss), the site does contain a bunch more info on their footwear, with its ‘bamboo infused’ linings, recycled polyester webbings and laces, recycled EVA and rubber sole combos and suchlike.

With a passion for aesthetics and the need to bond with that native tradition, they created Manto: a fashion label that brings traditional weaving back to life through modern patterns and designs.

For each collection, they determine the look and feel of the fabrics they are going to need and send the indications to weavers, who work from their homes and send the materials back. “We are creating a fertile social, cultural,…

We have followed Ruth Singer’s career since she first started creating pillows out of organic, ecological and recycled fabrics. A sweet pink one made out of an old cashmere sweater, with a red rose was a favourite. Then she moved on to scarves and pillows made of hemp and vintage fabrics.
