We are always looking for new ways to repurposing our leather waste, and we decide to partnership with Merake as we believe this is an amazing way to up-cycle this waste into consumer products.

The partnership between Roxan and Merake was born from two company directors driven by the same goal and passion to reduce waste by creating further value from it. The two brands are based on the same circular production process re-using leather, plastic and rubber waste.

 

Pursuing green fashion, and combining their two skill-sets; one from the world of leather, and the other from shoes and rubber, in order to create fashionable and recyclable footwear collection along with other accessories made from recycled content.
