Our Commitment
La Sustentabilidad: Crafting A Better Future
At GAUCHA, fashion and responsibility go hand in hand. We’re committed to creating zapatos that not only look good, but do good, for the people, the planet, and our comunidad.
Thoughtful Materials
Every material is chosen with care. From organic fabrics and recycled elements to responsibly sourced leather, nothing is by chance.
All our leather partners are certified by the Leather Working Group (LWG) with Silver or Gold ratings, meeting top standards in water, energy, and chemical management.
Our packaging uses recycled corrugated cardboard, recycled paper cards, and organic cotton for our dustbags. We encourage customers to repurpose or recycle these materials whenever possible.
Ethical Production
We only work with small, trusted factories that pay fair wages and ensure safe, dignified conditions. Our main partner in Portugal is proudly women-led. As a Hispanic, female-founded brand, this matters to us deeply,M our comunidad starts with the people who bring our shoes to life.
Reducing Waste
We produce in small, intentional runs — no overproduction, no stockpiles, no burning unsold shoes to fake exclusivity. If more pairs are needed, we make more. If they’re gone, se fueron.
Carbon Footprint
All suppliers are based in the EU to keep our supply chain close and reduce emissions. Many also hold renewable energy certifications, another step toward a lighter footprint.
Longevity & Timeless Design
Sustainability is also about designing with forever in mind. Styles that feel timeless, crafted to last, so each pair becomes a long-term part of your story, not just a season’s trend.
Join Us On The Journey
We know sustainability is never “done.” We’re always looking for ways to do better. Walk it with us: choose consciously, wear with orgullo, and join a comunidad that cares.
