Manufacturing information:

Our production is based in the city of Dongguan, Southern China. Today, Dongguan is one of the global capitals of shoemaking, attracting skilled craftsmen from around the world. We work exclusively with a single factory for all our production. Run by a collective of New Zealanders, British, and Chinese, both Western and Eastern values are reflected throughout the workplace culture. They pride themselves in their commitment to ethical manufacturing. All workers are payed a living wage (including health insurance and a pension contributions), are provided daily meals, on-site accomodation, as well as the option of free English classes. We visit quarterly, working alongside the development and production teams sourcing, adjusting, and refining until products are ready to go to market.

About Collective Canvas

Collective Canvas is a footwear brand from New Zealand. We make simple sneakers from naturally grown and sustainably sourced materials. Today we share a world that has come to value new over better, yet all too often the vast environmental and human cost of our collective consumption is left overlooked and unconsidered. Collective Canvas was created from a desire to produce slow, simple and transparent products, obsessing over the small details and the impact of every choice. Our intention is to provide a clear alternative to the status quo - products that celebrate the unique character imparted by the use of natural materials, and the collective hands involved at each stage of their creation.
