Sustainability
Sustainable production │ Responsible shopping
We believe in the importance of making a positive impact on the people, the environment and the communities across our supply chain. This is made possible through valued partnerships with family owned factories and artisan collectives that share our commitment to cherishing craft, ensuring fair compensation and protecting workers’ health and safety.

Responsibly Sourcing Materials
Our shoes are made from leather tanned with natural tannins, and the byproducts of the tanning process are recycled for agricultural use. We reuse and recycle wherever possible.
Reducing Waste
Making Only What We Need
Overproduction in fashion is one of the world’s biggest environmental threats. We refuse to make that problem worse. We believe in making only what is needed. Unlike many fast fashion brands, we create our collections in small batches, with the aim of selling out. This practice reduces waste and ensures our pieces are made thoughtfully, with appropriate time and care.

IN ALTA WE CARE ABOUT SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION AND RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION
Local production
Since launch, our shoes have been produced in Colombia. Over the years, we have built meaningful relationships with our production teams and worked together on constantly improving the quality of our products. Producing locally ensures a lower carbon footprint, regular visits to manufacturing facilities by the team to ensure prime labor conditions, and in our case, careful craftsmanship by trusted artisans.
