OFKT is a UK based company that designs and manufactures ladies fashion footwear with sustainability at the core of the brand ethos.
We use offcuts of leather to make the uppers of the shoes. This enables us to use wastage pieces at a limited run. The dustbag, and the info label are made using wastage materials from Scrap, Centre of Creative Reuse, Play and Learning: A social enterprise based in Leeds, focused on helping the environment by reusing waste materials from businesses as resources for art and play.
OFKT wants to take part in a more sustainable way of life by recovering wastage so we can reduce the need for landfill space. We care about quality, just as much as we care about the environment. Our beautiful shoes are all made traditionally by hand in a small footwear factory in Yorkshire.
