Eco friendly
Over the past few years, Robeez has developed a real commitment to being more environmentally friendly. To improve your baby’s development in a more sustainable environment, we continue to research new manufacturing methods to bring you new product lines. So, season after season, we expand our range of eco-friendly soft slippers featuring gentle and colorful designs.
The Robeez plant-based range
Our goal? To become a 100% eco-friendly brand. Robeez is gradually transforming itself by developing its collections of soft slippers made with sustainable materials that are perfectly suited to your baby’s developing feet.
To support the feet of little ones in this eco-friendly universe, Robeez draws on two pillars: vegetable-tanned leather and natural crepe soles.
Vegetable-tanned leather slippers
Vegetable tanned leather is leather that has been tanned (dyed) using selected plants according to their color and the desired flexibility of the leather.
Robeez vegetable-tanned leather slippers are dyed with vegetable tannins found in wood bark, such as from acacia, chestnut, quebracho and mimosa trees, or in fruit fibres. Tannins derived from sumac and olive leaves, and divi-divi pods are also used.
Vegetable tanning is an age-old dyeing process that does not use solvents or chemicals, unlike chrome tanning. Not only is the leather softer, but baby slippers made with vegetable-tanned leather are gentler on your baby’s feet and respect their well-being.
As it’s a natural process, vegetable tanning also protects the environment and the health of its manufacturers, and its residues are biodegradable and recyclable. All Robeez leather is produced by tanneries audited by Leather Working Group (LWG) to check compliance with European Chemical Agency (ECHA) standards.
Crepe soles
Our research and development department is focused on eco-friendly criteria to bring you slippers that are perfectly suited to the development stage of your baby’s foot, while respecting the environment.
In the Robeez plant-based range, explore the line of soft crepe-soled slippers. Made from natural rubber, these new soles are both flexible and durable. In addition to being non-slip, crepe soles insulate your baby’s feet to better protect them from small obstacles on the ground.
