We believe that handmade and artisanal craftsmanship are a sublime and humane way to challenge the future and its technological threats. We craft using traditional Italian artisanal techniques, starting from the design phase, which we carry out on non-digital lasts. Our processes elevate each design, transforming it into a work of art. We believe each pair carries a part of our soul within it; they are an invitation for those who wear them to also be part of this story and tell it.

At Zapatera Caribeña, we are committed to sustainability, and our economic, environmental, and social practices reflect this, even though there are opportunities for further improvement.

Economy

We entrust the manufacturing of our designs to skilled artisans who work in small workshops dedicated exclusively to the handcrafting of high-end shoes. This way, we ensure that compensation is fair and reaches the workers in full.

Environmental

We are committed to responsible manufacturing from the selection of materials to their use during the cutting phase, avoiding the generation of disproportionate waste during manufacturing. Therefore, we understand that producing limited, mass-produced quantities allows us to maintain controls aimed at environmental responsibility.

Social

We recognize that we are part of a community and want to give back to the community. That's why we donate $10 from each sale to socially impactful or educational projects for Puerto Rican women.

We appreciate being chosen. That's why we don't consider those who choose us clients, we consider them ambassadors!
