With 'create happiness in everyday walks' we are looking for the purest and fairest way to realize our product in every area of ​​business.

We believe this creates happiness in all aspects.

Our shoes are not produced by subcontractors. We have our own factory in Hungary and are therefore responsible for all employees who manufacture our shoes. That is why we attach great importance to our craftsmen, they are largely responsible for our good quality shoes. We therefore give them the respect they deserve and offer them good working conditions in accordance with EU legislation and better.
