Hereu
HEREU is a Barcelona-based accessories brand inspired by the beauty and traditions of the Mediterranean. Founded in 2014, the brand combines Spanish heritage with a clean, modern approach to design. Each shoe is handcrafted by local artisans using soft leathers and traditional techniques like weaving, hand-stitching, and moccasin construction. From fisherman sandals to woven loafers and soft boots, HEREU’s styles feel timeless, relaxed, and quietly refined. Made to be worn and loved over time, each pair brings a sense of craft and character to everyday dressing.
WHAT MAKES THIS BRAND SUSTAINABLE
Hereu champions ethical craftsmanship by partnering with family-run ateliers and local artisans in Spain, ensuring fair working conditions and preserving traditional techniques. This localized, small-scale production model not only supports skilled labor and cultural heritage, but also reduces the environmental footprint typically associated with mass manufacturing and long supply chains.
Hereu sources its leather from Spain and Italy, in accordance with the ethical standards set by the Leather Working Group. The brand exclusively uses leather that is a by-product of the meat industry, helping to minimize environmental impact. In addition, Hereu primarily works with vegetable-tanned leather, a more sustainable alternative that avoids the harmful chemicals typically used in conventional tanning processes.
