Beflamboyant

Beflam­boy­ant manu­fac­tures its shoes in Fel­guei­ras, a small vil­la­ge in nor­t­hern Por­tu­gal who­se main indus­try is footwear. 

After a lot of rese­arch, Tatia­na and Jor­ge found a fac­to­ry with excel­lent craft­smen with many years of expe­ri­ence, who work under fair working con­di­ti­ons and fol­low high manu­fac­tu­ring stan­dards. They have been able to see for them­sel­ves, as they have visi­ted the fac­to­ry.

In addi­ti­on, the fac­to­ry is cer­ti­fied SME­TA (Sedex Mem­bers Ethi­cal Trade Audit), one of the most wide­ly used ethi­cal audit for­mats in the world.

Beflam­boy­an­t’s shoes are made from vegan and sus­tainable mate­ri­als such as corn was­te, bam­boo or recy­cled pla­s­tic from the sea cal­led Sea­qual.

The main part of the shoe is made of corn, a bio-based mate­ri­al more than 63% orga­nic, extre­me­ly com­for­ta­ble, high qua­li­ty, breat­ha­ble and light­weight, with the GRS (Glo­bal Recy­cled Stan­dard) cer­ti­fi­ca­ti­on.

In the heel and the front part of the laces they use a soft touch mate­ri­al, com­po­sed of recy­cled cot­ton and recy­cled PET, it is a GRS (Glo­bal Recy­cled Stan­dard) cer­ti­fied mate­ri­al. On the side of some of their shoes they use Sea­qual mate­ri­al, made from recy­cled pla­s­tic from the sea, also GRS (Glo­bal Recy­cled Stan­dard) certified.

The inner lining of some of their shoes is made of bam­boo, a soft, breat­ha­ble and light­weight mate­ri­al that is very plea­sant to the touch. Others are made of recy­cled cot­ton or recy­cled PET, both GRS (Glo­bal Recy­cled Stan­dard) cer­ti­fied materials. 

All their shoes use the same ultra-com­for­ta­ble, ultra-com­for­ta­ble, 100% recy­cled foam inso­le with acti­ve char­co­al of vege­ta­ble ori­gin and remo­va­ble. And for the laces, they use orga­nic cot­ton with OCS (Orga­nic Con­tent Stan­dard) cer­ti­fi­ca­ti­on or recy­cled PET with GRS (Glo­bal Recy­cled Stan­dard) certification.

Final­ly, the dif­fe­rent soles used in Beflam­boy­ant are made of ther­mo­pla­s­tic rub­ber (100% recy­clable mate­ri­al), recy­cled rub­ber or recy­cled rice husks.

Beflam­boy­ant uses some recy­cled mate­ri­als to redu­ce the use of vir­gin mate­ri­als, and give mate­ri­als a second life, such as recy­cled cot­ton or recy­cled plastic.

They also work with the Sea­qual initia­ti­ve, a col­la­bo­ra­ti­ve com­mu­ni­ty that works with oce­an clean-up pro­gram­mes around the world to add value to the was­te that is recovered.

At Beflam­boy­ant they have set out to know and exami­ne from start to finish the pro­duc­tion chain of their vegan shoes, the mate­ri­als used and the peo­p­le invol­ved in each and every one of the processes. 

All pro­duc­tion takes place in a fac­to­ry in Por­tu­gal, which they them­sel­ves have been able to visit and check that the working con­di­ti­ons are fair.

In addi­ti­on, they only work with relia­ble part­ners and sup­pli­ers in Spain, Ita­ly and Por­tu­gal, who respect their workers and care about the pro­duct as much as they do.

Beflam­boy­ant is a 100% vegan shoe brand!

For Beflam­boy­ant the use of ani­mals in busi­ness makes no sen­se, as it is pos­si­ble to make qua­li­ty vegan shoes with inno­va­ti­ve mate­ri­als.

It is also PETA Appro­ved Vegan and The Vegan Socie­ty certified.

Beflam­boy­ant manu­fac­tures vegan shoes that are made to last. They use high qua­li­ty orga­nic mate­ri­als and recy­cled mate­ri­als.

They want to chan­ge the pre­sent of sus­tainable fashion to for­ge a bet­ter future, crea­ting vegan foot­wear and eco-fashion, while encou­ra­ging a new form of respon­si­ble con­sump­ti­on with the envi­ron­ment, ani­mals and peo­p­le.

In Beflam­boy­ant they invi­te us to rethink our way of con­sum­ing foot­wear and fashion in gene­ral, they invi­te us to buy less and buy better.

For Beflam­boy­ant, trans­pa­ren­cy is one of its fun­da­men­tal pil­lars and that is why on each pro­duct page you can see all the infor­ma­ti­on about the com­po­si­ti­on of the pro­duct and its impact.

In addi­ti­on, COSH! has spo­ken to the foun­ders of Beflam­boy­ant, and with total trans­pa­ren­cy they have pro­vi­ded us with the names of their sup­pli­ers, their cer­ti­fi­ca­tes and the name of the fac­to­ry whe­re they pro­du­ce their shoes, so we can ensu­re that Beflam­boy­ant is a trans­pa­rent brand and they have a good tracea­bi­li­ty of their product.
