REINCARNATED SOLES

The Reincarnated Soles Collection signifies a re-emergence of craft and the building of a new future for the wood artisans of Hue. The artistry that defined Imperial palaces and
Pagodas for their ornate, elegant and powerful wooden structures has been translated into a modern statement of art and fashion. Nurtured by the hands of history, each pair is cultivated over 22 days by multiple villagers. The wood is carved from locally grown trees and the full grain leatherwork is hand-made.

Fashion4Freedom offers a more ethically responsible & democratic option in fashion production consisting of small co-ops and artisan villages. In our 8th year, we’ve invested in over 70 communities who impacted over 40,000 people.  Together, we provide the industry with a new resource for making jewelry, accessories, furniture, garments, home goods, footwear…all in an open system where brands can collaborate with our artisans rather than dictate outcome.  We’re redefining each link in the supply chain so to make each participant more equitable and rewarded.
