At Basq Company, we believe that fashion and sustainability should not be in conflict, they must go hand in hand. That's why we speak out against fast fashion, a system that pollutes our planet, exploits workers, and encourages overconsumption.

Let's look at the facts:

• The fashion industry is responsible for 8–10% of global carbon emissions, more than all international flights and maritime shipping combined. BBC News

• Textile dyeing processes contribute to 20% of global industrial water pollution. Natural Science

• Approximately 10% of returned clothing items are incinerated or sent to landfills, contributing to significant waste. Vogue Business

Meanwhile, clothes are used less and discarded faster. Mountains of waste grow. And behind the low prices are millions of people working in poor conditions, with little to no rights.

So, what's the alternative?

At Basq, we make sneakers designed to last, crafted with recycled materials, produced locally in Spain, and made without shortcuts. No greenwashing. No exploitation. Just thoughtful design, transparency, and a clear purpose: create footwear that respects your feet and the planet.

We're not perfect, but we believe in progress. In buying less, but better. In choosing quality over speed. And in repairing, reusing, and extending the life of everything we wear.

Because style should never come at the cost of people or the Earth.

When you need new sneakers, we're here. Until then, wear what you have, take care of it, and consume consciously.

Together, we can make fashion part of the solution.
