As Hobart slips from autumn into winter, our footwear collection shifts from sandals to sneakers and boots. With this change of season, I wanted to highlight some new arrivals that I know you'll love.
First up is a brand Icon Footwear has carried in the past, and one I know many of you love: El Naturalista. This Spanish manufacturer upholds the finest traditions of European footwear, committing to both quality and comfort. El Naturalista combines exceptional craftsmanship with a strong ethos of sustainability and social responsibility. As their motto says, they create "shoes inspired by nature for committed people."
To achieve this sustainable culture, El Naturalista structures itself around three pillars: Product, Planet, and People. In fact, they describe themselves as "Born and Evolved via sustainability."
Their craftsmanship stems from the La Rioja region, an area famous for artisan shoe-making. While they utilize the latest eco-efficient technologies, many parts of the manufacturing process are still performed by hand. El Naturalista believes that quality comes from ensuring standards are embedded at every stage. For this reason, they control the complete manufacturing process, from raw materials to boxing and quality control.
