Dotz and the sustainable production chain
The Dotz project is linked to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals as an ecosystem of alternative businesses based on 4 pillars: collaboration, cooperation, sustainability and economic management.
The brand works with agro ecological cotton produced in collaboration with small family farmers in Paraíba (a state in Brazil’s Northeast known for its tropical coastline and Portuguese colonial architecture), upcycling materials and vegan fabrics, promoting responsible production and conscious consumption.
Dotz is involved in the entire textile production chain, from cotton harvesting, ginning (separation of the seed and cotton fiber), spinning and weaving and, finally, shoe manufacturing. Each step of the production processes is done with different partnerships, making the chain viable.
The project aims to inspire another way of doing business, an alternative system that promotes a balance between quality, sustainability and society, establishing new standards for good commercial practices, which have a positive impact on society and the environment.
It all starts with an innovative artisanal production method from the origin of the raw materials to the way the shoes are manufactured. The process is based on the belief that collaboration drives innovation, and that sustainability and profitability can work side by side.
