A quote taken from El Naturalista's inspiration trip based on their current Recycled Footwear range.  A trip to Recyclus ..

"We live in the age of recycling, and what better represents our philosophy than this concept... being truly respectful of nature and moving away from marketing and fashion. Our company, which already is a family, only uses eco -friendly leather that respects the environment and that is processed avoiding toxic materials. Also, in our production process we don't try to produce quantity, but quality. All our products, from shoes to packing materials, are recycled and recyclable."
