The Materials

Hemp

Incredibly strong, easy to grow and inherently organic, hemp is by a wide margin the most truly sustainable material we work with. Hemp cultivation requires no pesticides or insecticides, and only a quarter the water required of cotton. Even better, it detoxifies and regenerates the soil it’s grown in, as well as removing CO2 from the atmosphere at an impressive rate.

As a fabric hemp has similar properties to merino, being antimicrobial (low odour retention, which means it stays fresher for longer), and both insulating and breathable. It also softens with age, and is one of the most durable natural fibres on earth.

Organic Cotton

The organic cotton used throughout our trainers is grown with the intention of minimising the impact of its creation on both farmer and environment. Organic cotton is cultivated without insecticides, pesticides, synthetic fertilisers, or GMO seeds.

Natural Latex Rubber

All our outsoles and foxing sidewalls are made from natural latex rubber from the hevea brasiliensis tree, vulcanised in a pressurised kiln at 120º to fuse the sole to the upper. Flexible yet durable, natural rubber is a naturally sustainable product that’s ultimately biodegradable at the end of its life.

Cork

Natural cork is the bark taken from the quercus suber, more commonly named the cork oak. Sustainably harvested with no damage to the tree it grows upon, natural cork is inherently anti-microbial (hypoallergenic & resistant to bacteria) and hydrophobic (repels water) making it the perfect material to stand between your feet and the ground.

Ortholite® Eco™

Our insole foam is made from an environmentally friendly formulation containing both a renewable sourced castor bean oil in place of the traditional petroleum derived foam, and incorporates a percentage of recycled rubber.

Recycled Packaging

Our shoe boxes and courier bags are made from 100% post consumer paper waste and printed from plant based inks.

Transparent Markups

Transparent Markups

From the outset we've been driven by a belief that simple, naturally derived products should be available at democratic, rather than exclusive prices.

By eschewing the traditional retail pricing model and partnering directly with our factory, we're able to reduce overinflated margins, reducing the total cost to our customers.

Our Partners

Our Partners

We work directly with our production partner in Dongguan, China, visiting quarterly to work alongside them sourcing, developing, testing and fine tuning each product we release.

Run by a mixed team comprising New Zealanders, British and Chinese, the best of both Western and Eastern values are present in the workplace culture.

Most importantly, a commitment to ethical manufacturing is reflected throughout the workplace. All workers are paid a living wage, and are provided multiple benefits including health insurance, a pension, on-site accommodation, and access to English lessons.

Naturally Sourced

Naturally Sourced

In an effort to reduce the long term impact of the products we create, we go to great lengths to limit our use of synthetic materials to the bare minimum.

The uppers of these trainers are made from a beautifully textured organic hemp canvas, while the sidewall foxing and outsole are natural rubber latex from the Hevea Brasiliensis, tapped and collected by hand.

For cushioning we use Ortholite Eco® insoles derived from renewable castor oil rather than petroleum based, covered with a naturally sustainable cork veneer that helps wick moisture away from the feet.

Cool shoes, great customer service! 10/10

Really comfy and I like how they included black laces too. Lovely informative customer service, answered all my questions and felt great not only supporting the environment but an NZ company too. Already eyeing up another pair to buy.

Love my looper hemp sneakers!

They are light and instantly comfortable so I wore them all weekend. I love the style and colours and had so many compliments. The fact they are an ethical NZ brand makes me love them all the more.

You’ve gained a customer.

I’ve had the opportunity to wear this pair for a few weeks now, and I’m overall very satisfied with my purchase.

The pros:
-Sleek and stylish design that stands out compared to more common brands.
-Quality materials and finish.
-Light, flexible, comfortable and breathable.
-The insole flexes and absorbs shocks, it’s a really nice touch.

Cons:
-Depending on your feet volume, the shoelaces might be a bit too long. I would prefer if they were a few centimeters shorter so that they don’t touch the ground after I tie them.

-If you’re having your shoes delivered outside of New Zealand, keep in mind that you might have to pay for customs when you receive them. Some companies include that cost in their total price, and it would have been good to know beforehand that it wouldn’t be the case here.

With that being said, I highly recommend this product and look forward to buying more pairs/models.

Looper Hemp

Loving my new sneakers...comfortable from the first moment I put them on...wasn't sure about the cork inner but its fantastic, so soft. Will definitely be buying a second pair..the only problem I have is which pair to choose...so many gorgeous colour ways and styles.

Comfortable And Good Quality Shoed

I got a pair of these shoes wanting to try something more planet sustainable and wanted to put my money away from overseas cheap slave labour and big corporations.
These shoes really impressed me for the price and they make great comfortable shoes to wear throughout the day.
Highly recommended.

Excellent and stylish

The shoes look fabulous and feel comfortable. I have tried other options in biodegradable shoes and been disappointed, so I'm stoked to have these work for me.

So comfy, very cute 🙂

I'm usually a 38, and this fit is right for me, but my feet are narrow. If I had wider feet I'd look at a different style and or size up.

So happy with my purchase though. I spend a lot of my day on my feet, and these things are very comfy! Canvas means they're already soft, no new-shoes discomfort here! Won't be long before I'm eyeing up another pair!

Super comfy

These sneakers are super comfy, and the black/cream is sharp. I think they might be slightly more narrow than the other models and also less structured. The raw edge stripe could be revised, the fraying looks ratty after a few wears.

Looper hemp happiness

The Looper hemp is my first pair from Collective Canvas and I'm super happy. I was looking for a light sneaker for summer that would stand up to garden wear, accommodate my wide feet and also look good for everyday wear. The Looper Hemp delivers! It's light and cool, with lots of room for my toes (priority for me). I wear them around the garden when I'm not in work boots and find they're sturdy and easy to clean. Also look cool for work and go with just about everything. Found them to be true to size and measurements on the website are a true guide. Very happy.

Love the new colour way. Super comfy have 4 different shoes from CC now. Would love a 9.5 as the 10 is a fraction big and 9 a fraction small.

But huge fan 10/10 🤝

Good shoes.

Love these shoes! On my second pair, absolutely thrashed the first and will definitely be getting a third. It’s hard to find good sneakers that have good morals, stoked to have them on my feet.

What a hit!

In time for Christmas as a gift ( really thought I'd missed the boat!)
My husband put them on and wore them all day Christmas Day- compliments from everyone and unbelievably comfortable he said.
Converted a few more to Collective Canvas along the way!
