Eight Inch Heels Sustainability Actions

Small-batch production

The brand says it makes only the minimum number of pairs its factory allows. It presents this as a way to avoid excess stock and reduce waste. In its view, this means no shoes are burned or sent to landfill. This is a common small-brand approach, but the available material does not show independent proof of the waste claims.

Designed for longer use

The brand says its heels are made to be timeless and seasonless, so customers can wear them for years instead of treating them as short-term fashion items. It also says quality and comfort are built into the design so the shoes last longer. Longer use can reduce waste because products do not need replacing as often.

Single-factory relationship

The brand says it has a long-term relationship with one factory. It argues that this helps the factory become more skilled at making its shoes and improves quality over time. A smaller, more stable supply chain can sometimes make oversight easier, although the material does not include outside checks on labour or environmental standards.

Moved production to Brazil

The brand says it moved production from Italy to Brazil and found a factory that could keep Grade A quality at a lower price point. The material frames this as part of its effort to keep the shoes high quality while managing costs. No independent sustainability assessment of the factory move is included.

Uses recycled and biodegradable packaging

The brand says it uses recycled fabrics where possible and uses biodegradable corn starch, recycled paper, recycled plastic, or biodegradable mail bags for packaging. These materials can reduce reliance on virgin plastic and paper, but the available content does not show how much of the packaging is covered or whether the claims are verified.

Carbon neutral office

The brand says its Sydney office is carbon neutral, meaning it claims to balance out its office emissions so the net total is zero. It also says the office supports climate action projects. The material does not explain how the carbon neutral claim is calculated or whether it is independently checked.
