KUMI is a brand of trainers with the aim of being something different from the other options that exist in the market: for Alexandra and Sergio, the creators of KUMI, the relationship with their suppliers is more than a simple exchange. They are their partners and consider it essential to have a close relationship based on transparency, personal contact and trust, because without them they would not be able to realise their projects.
Alexandra and Sergio decided to start their own project that fits their lifestyle and values:
1. Respect and love for animals: They started by collaborating with FAADA and the Protectora de animales de Barcelona.
2. Sustainable fashion industry: Using vegan, sustainable and recycled materials with the aim of sustainable and quality fashion.
3. Supporting the local economy: Reducing the impact of CO2 and creating links with national companies.
For this reason, their trainer manufacturer is local, based in Elche (Spain), to ensure a close relationship and adequate working conditions.
In addition, for their clothing collection they work with a local workshop in Mallorca, where they do the printing and embroidery of their sweatshirts and bags.
