Adding the best of each sector of the industry, the label also invites artists to create one-of-a-kind designs that become unique all over prints. DOTZ acts as a curator by giving visibility to participating names - each pair of shoes comes with a photo and detailed bio label about the designer that signs the all over print.

With the principle that goes far beyond just a simple pair of shoes, DOTZ is concerned with valuing the product by getting involved in the process chain, from agroecological cotton plantations produced by Paraíba (a state in Brazil's Northeast, is known for its tropical coastline and Portuguese colonial architecture)families, to empowering women from vulnerable communities. They also use household and industrial waste (it can be observed in the recycled material box where the pair of shoes come in. It that was made from plastic household waste).

As a result, DOTZ has sophisticated products manufactured with transparency in the creation chain that value comfort without giving up on creativity and the concern for a product with impeccable quality.

About the creator

The concept, at first glance, is objective and simple. This was Rodrigo Doxandabarat- in partnership with Anderson Presoto (the name behind Linking Dotz)-, intent.

Após atuar anos na área de varejo para grifes como Dolce&Gabbana e Giorgio Armani, Rodrigo viu a necessidade de usar toda a sua expertise no mercado de luxo aliada a tópicos incontornáveis como a sustentabilidade e a cooperacao, uma vez que trabalhou durante anos no terceiro setor para diversas ONG’s em paises como India, Argentina e Iraque durante o conflito armado de 2003.

Doxandabarat supports empathy, diversity and plurality. DOTZ’s project believes and wants to prove that an alternative business model is not only possible, but necessary.
