Materials Used in Dambira Footwear
At Dambira, we are committed to quality craftsmanship and sustainability. Our footwear is made from premium materials that not only support your comfort but also contribute to a more eco-friendly world.
Leather and Suede - Morocco
All Dambira leather slippers are crafted using premium vegetable-tanned leather or suede. Vegetable tanning is an ancient and eco-conscious process that has been practiced for over a thousand years in Morocco. This method uses only natural components such as wood, bark, fruits, and leaves to tan animal skins. The leather is chromium-free, offering a unique and distinct look.
By choosing Dambira, you’re supporting responsible leather manufacturing. Our leather and suede are by-products of the food industry, ensuring that no animal is harmed specifically for their skin. Furthermore, these materials are biodegradable, 100% compostable, and contribute positively to the environment, even serving as a source for fertilizer.
Natural Rubber - China
The soles of our slippers are made from natural rubber, ensuring superior grip and flexibility. Derived from the latex sap of rubber trees, natural rubber has been used for thousands of years, dating back to 1600 BC. With over 2,500 types of trees producing this sap, natural rubber provides durability and comfort, while also being eco-friendly. Our outsoles are designed to enhance your experience, giving you the flexibility to move with ease.
Linen - Turkey
The linen used in our Dambira Urban slippers comes from Turkey, a country with a rich history of linen production. Linen is one of the oldest and most sustainable fabrics known to man, dating back to 8000 BC. Made from the flax plant, it uses far fewer resources compared to cotton or polyester, requiring less water, energy, pesticides, and fertilizers. Linen is known for its durability, breathability, and softness—perfect for those seeking comfort and sustainability. When you wear our Dambira Urban models, you’re experiencing the benefits of this timeless fabric, designed to keep your feet cool and comfortable.
Eco-Friendly Glue - Italy
To ensure that every pair of Dambira slippers is both durable and environmentally conscious, we use eco-friendly glue in the assembly process. Our glue is water-based and free from harmful chemicals, offering a safer alternative to traditional adhesives. This adhesive not only provides a strong bond between the materials but also aligns with our commitment to creating products that are kind to the planet. By opting for eco-friendly glue, we reduce the environmental impact of harmful toxins and contribute to a more sustainable production process.
At Dambira, we aim to provide lifestyle shoes that cater to people with sensitive skin, skin conditions, and environmental consciousness. With our use of natural, biodegradable materials, your purchase is not just a step toward better personal comfort, but also a step toward supporting a greener, healthier planet.
