ISLEÑAS
is a footwear brand based in Puerto Rico and manufactured in Puerto Rico and Latin America. Launching with espadrilles in 2018, we have simple goals: look good, feel good, do good.
OUR MISSION
is to contribute to Puerto Rico's social transformation through manufacturing.
Isleñas is actively helping to build a slow fashion infrastructure in Puerto Rico through partnerships and community.
- Our office is our factory! Our in-house manufacturing is made-to-order and/or small batch production. We train our team members at Isleñas from scratch.
- We partner with several local non-profits to provide opportunities to women with diverse backgrounds through a train-to hire program.
- Isleñas is co-founder of Modo Consciente, a collective of Puerto Rican designers championing sustainable design.
PRODUCT
Comfort -Style ⬌ Style-Comfort back and forth for-e-ever! Oh, and color! Lots of color. Our best days are when we can move freely! Do you agree? We aim to stay true to that always. As we diversify our selection we will remain a go-to for flats and low heights with added comfort features.
In good representation of our cultural values, our styles will always be colorful and our approach bright and warm.
Wherever you are from, if you connect with our styles, colors, story and/or mission, welcome to the Isleñas fam :)
The Team
Ready to give you all the shoe love.
Sincerely, Karla, Norián, Norma, Naomi, Oula, & Wavy
Isleñas manufacturing consists of the preservation of hand work and traditional techniques, as well as automation and technology applications.
We divide it into three categories: Manual, Industrial, Digital/Tech . This allows us to have different kinds of partnerships depending on organizations' equipment and mission. And offer a range of opportunities to our team members depending on individual's skill level and interest.
Some of our partners include educational institutions like the School of Architecture of the University of Puerto Rico. And non-profit organizations like Mumas Renaciendo, providing programs to reach economic autonomy to under resourced areas.
