SAYE

What was founded nearly 10 years ago, under the name WADO, as a Kickstarter brand-funding campaign, has turned into SAYE, a sneaker brand committed to saying yes to change. After years of avoiding animal leather, they learned they needed to not only create less but also create better. In search of a recycled material that would prove more durable, they introduced circular suede to their material library, discarded cowhide from the meat industry that would have otherwise gone to waste. Each sneaker is designed in Barcelona and made in Portugal or Spain in factories that are regularly audited. Saye is dedicated to changing the footwear industry and its impact on the planet for the better.

Every brand at The Pear House is vetted against our 9 criteria for ethical, sustainable production. We believe in progress over perfection, and we'll always be transparent about where we stand.
