Happy Toffels For A Happy Planet!
A Hasbeen shows their love for our planet in what they wear. We are inspired by the respect for nature and people that started in the US in the 1970’s. When a whole generation was liberated from boring clothes and nature, music and human rights became more important than bureaucrats in polyester suits fighting over oil. They were brave, individual and strong and they dressed like it. They made us all realize that we are not anonymous and typecast consumers but instead the largest power the earth has seen. We are the power that can change the future for all by acting together. That means that our shoes will always be happy shoes, made by happy people that help us make this planet a happier place.
Why are our shoes sustainable? Short answer is that we only use high-quality natural material and simple construction that can easily be repaired so they last. A pair of Hasbeens can with the right care last you a lifetime and if you don’t give them to your kids you can plant them and they will disappear.
The wood - We only use Swedish alder wood and lime-tree that has been harvested and grown according to the regulations of the preservation of the forests.
The leather - We are one of the very few manufacturers that only use chrome free natural grain leather. The leather has been vegetable tanned without chromium and the colors are natural.
The rubber soles - Instead of PVC (plastic) we use rubber, which is a more environmentally friendly alternative. On certain models we have already began to reintroduce natural rubber.
The production – They are hand-made according to old manufacturing processes that are good to people and nature.
The transports – Since we work mainly with local producers and local material the transports can be minimized during the production. When we transport the shoes to other countries we make sure they are transported in as environmentally friendly ways as possible.
