Designed in The Netherlands.
At our design studio in the Netherlands we focus on the things even the eye can't see, to build better. We approach clothing and footwear as product design. Prototype, test, refine, repeat. Every collection is the same but evolved.
Built in family-owned ateliers.
Our footwear is handmade in Portugal, in a family-owned atelier that works with traditional methods. Cutting, lasting and stitching every pair by hand. For our menswear we select a specialist per fabric: knitted, woven and sewn in Portugal, Turkey and China. Our heavyweight denim is woven in Tokyo, Japan. The best maker for each craft, nothing less.
Tech meets craft.
We merge traditional shoemaking with today's technology. ETQ sneakers are built with a Strobel construction for flexibility, on a reinforced rubber cup sole made for daily wear in the city. Inside sits our removable memory foam insole with moisture regulation, on a leather footbed. Comfortable on the first wear, made to stay that way for years.
High standards.
Only the finest materials enter the atelier. Our nappa, suede and nubuck are selected hide by hide. Every pair is checked before it leaves the atelier. No shortcuts, no exceptions.
