Our Process
The process of making a Palmas pair begins with sourcing the finest materials from local suppliers. This typically includes leather, rubber, and other natural materials that are chosen for their durability, comfort, and aesthetic appeal.
Once the materials have been selected, they are passed on to skilled artisans in local Mexican communities who use traditional techniques to handcraft the huaraches. After the huaraches have been completed, they are carefully inspected to ensure that they meet the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship.
The entire process, from sourcing the materials to finishing the huaraches, is done by hand and requires a great deal of skill and attention to detail. This dedication to traditional techniques and materials is what sets artisanal huaraches apart and makes them a truly special and unique product.
Ethical Sourcing
At Palmas, we are committed to sourcing our huaraches ethically and responsibly from the artisan communities in Mexico. This means that we work closely with local artisans to ensure that they are paid fairly for their skills and that they have access to the resources they need to produce high-quality huaraches.
We also strive to support these communities by using traditional materials and techniques in our huaraches. This helps to preserve the cultural heritage of Mexico and to keep these art forms alive. In addition, we make sure to source our materials from suppliers who are committed to ethical and sustainable practices, so that we can be confident that our huaraches are made in a way that is respectful to both people and the environment.
