The idea of ethical fashion continues to gain momentum, with labels and businesses making admirable choices as consumers become more conscious of what and how they buy.
Never has this been more true for Oliberté, the footwear label that's actively supporting workers' rights in Sub-Saharan Africa. It's also the first and only label in the world to operate its own fair trade certified footwear manufacturing factory, located in Ethiopia's sprawling capital, Addis Ababa.
And their boots are pretty steezy too, with even Ronnie Fieg and Mark McNairy having a hand in past designs. However, for the winter months, a standout piece is Oliberté's Ngola boot, crafted from a premium leather upper in a rustic brown colorway that sits atop a recycled rubber sole unit with an aggressive tread for greater traction. The boot has been finished with traditional African stitch down techniques and, due to the high-level of the craftsmanship, comes with a lifetime warranty.
Now, as an added bonus, the label is offering 20% off their footwear starting on Black Friday, November 26. Their site-wide offer runs through November 29.
