About Mahabis
Mahabis: Elevating Comfort, Redefining Sustainability
Mahabis, a renowned footwear brand, stands as a beacon of innovation and sustainability in the realm of comfortable, yet eco-friendly footwear. The brand's ethos revolves around the seamless fusion of maximum comfort and minimal environmental impact.
Sustainability at the Core
Carbon Offsetting
Mahabis is committed to offsetting its carbon footprint through a strategic partnership with Ecologi. For every pair of Mahabis sold, the brand plants a tree, contributing to reforestation and environmental restoration. The commitment extends beyond products, as Mahabis offsets the personal and professional carbon footprint of its team, fostering a climate-friendly workforce.
Localized Production
In a pivotal move towards sustainability, Mahabis shifted its footwear production to Portugal, a country renowned for its artisanal approach to footwear. Over 90% of Mahabis products are crafted in collaboration with a family-owned factory, bringing production closer to customers while supporting a community with decades of footwear expertise.
Thoughtful Packaging
Mahabis has revolutionized its packaging, demonstrating a deep commitment to sustainability. The redesigned boxes are not merely containers; they are a testament to eco-conscious design. Crafted from 100% recyclable FSC certified cardboard, the packaging minimizes environmental impact. It goes further, being entirely recyclable and formed without any glue or chemicals, aligning with Mahabis' vision for a more sustainable world.
ReWooly™ Felt Upper
The brand takes a revolutionary step in sustainability with its ReWooly™ felt upper. In collaboration with Bigagli in Florence, Italy, Mahabis utilizes advanced recycling technology to incorporate at least 50% recycled wool fibers. This Global Recycling Standard certified material not only champions sustainable practices but also contributes to a circular economy, reusing fibers that would otherwise face landfill.
EcoCert® Wool Lining
Mahabis ensures ethical sourcing of materials with its winter ranges lined with Italian wool certified organic by EcoCert. The certification guarantees non-mulesed wool, reflecting the brand's commitment to the health and well-being of the sheep involved in the process.
Sustainably Sourced Rubber Sole
Mahabis challenges the norm of plastic soles in the footwear industry. The introduction of Pura-Latex™ rubber soles, responsibly sourced from the Hevea tree, showcases the brand's dedication to reducing environmental impact. This natural material not only improves shock absorption and grip but is also 100% recyclable.
Breathe Summer Slipper
The Mahabis Breathe collection embraces sustainability in its entirety. The upper fabric, crafted from Tencel’s cellulosic fibers, is 100% natural and created with the latest technology to keep feet feeling fresh. The hybrid EVA sole, engineered with responsibly sourced Pura-Latex™ rubber and 5% cornflour, exemplifies Mahabis' commitment to reducing its environmental footprint.
Recycling Scheme (Currently UK Only)
Mahabis takes its commitment to sustainability a step further with its recycling scheme, conducted in partnership with environmental firm First Mile. This initiative ensures that pre-loved Mahabis do not find their way into landfills. Participants not only contribute to reducing landfill waste but are also rewarded with a 15% voucher towards their next pair of Mahabis.
Mahabis stands as a trailblazer in sustainable footwear, exemplifying that style and comfort need not come at the expense of the planet. The brand's dedication to eco-friendly materials and practices is not just a choice but a conscious commitment towards crafting a more sustainable future, one step at a time.
