Experience the perfect blend of innovative design and sustainable craftsmanship with the ATACAMA Sneakers, inspired by the striking landscapes of the Atacama Desert. Made from upcycled leathers from previous collections and featuring the unique crackled leather known as Atacama, these sneakers showcase a hand-painted green and brown finish exclusively developed in Portugal for Marita Moreno.
The Green ATACAMA Sneakers also incorporate Burel, a 100% wool cloth crafted by a 4th generation family-owned certified Artesanal Production Unit located in Manteigas, Serra da Estrela. This traditional process transforms wool into a tightly woven, waterproof fabric known for its exceptional resistance and durability.
The ultra-light sole made from ecological EVA provides outstanding cushioning and flexibility, while the natural bio leather lining offers superior comfort with antibacterial properties. This green material is heavy metal-free and fully compostable, breaking down within 2 to 3 weeks to serve as natural compost.
