Our Manufacturing Process
At KUMI, we are proud to partner with a family-owned factory located in the renowned shoe-making region of Elche, Spain. This is where the magic of our sustainable sneakers truly comes to life. Alicante has long been celebrated for its exceptional quality and craftsmanship in footwear production, and our artisan manufacturers carry on this legacy with unwavering dedication.
Our factory is more than just a production facility – it is a community of skilled artisans who pour their heart and soul into every pair of KUMI Sneakers. Passed down through generations, their expertise in shoemaking is unparalleled. From cutting the materials to meticulously stitching each detail, every step of the process is carried out with the utmost care and precision.
Beyond their impressive technical abilities, our manufacturers are also champions of social responsibility. The factory provides meaningful employment opportunities to individuals facing social exclusion, empowering them to build brighter futures. Additionally, the facility operates on renewable energy sources, further minimizing our environmental impact.
Our partnership with this family-owned factory is a testament to our commitment to transparency and ethical practices. The Real Sustainable Fashion certification awarded to us by COSH! is a testament to the rigorous standards upheld throughout our supply chain, including the remarkable work of our factory.
At KUMI, we believe that true sustainability extends beyond materials and processes – it's about the people who breathe life into our products. By collaborating with this exceptional team of artisans, we are not only crafting high-quality, vegan sneakers, but also supporting the local community and contributing to the vibrant legacy of Spanish shoemaking. It is this human-centric approach that truly sets KUMI apart, ensuring that every step of our journey is guided by a steadfast dedication to sustainability, quality, and community.
