POSCO makes comfortable shoes that are handcrafted and designed using upcycled cotton canvas and naturally dyed cotton.
In their own words
We are the hijos, nietos and even bisnietos of immigrants. We come from everywhere and yet we now belong to one place: Latin America. And within Latin America, to the south of south, that is Argentina: the country of el buen vino, los asados, el gaucho, el cuero, el tango,el chamamé y la cumbia. But most importantly, the land of our beloved ones.
What we do is important. Why we do it, is vital:
We make handcrafted Argentinean leather shoes. We make upcycled cotton canvas sneakers. We care about the people who work with us, the community that sorrunds us and those who helped us grow.
Since launching POSCO, we have been working on two major ways of improving leather production: traceability and chemical transparency. All our leather products are handmade by Argentine specialists using traditional methods in dyed, vegetable-tanned leather products. They are made in small quantities on customer request and are created to last, but also to reduce energy and waste (that is why we pay special attention to water usage during the tanning process) as part of responsible production in the slow fashion movement.
