An experiment in grassroots capitalism

Blackspot is an affront to the consciousness of hyper capitalism and profit dominated boardroom policies. Blackspot is about more than marketing a brand or deconstructing the meaning of cool – it's about changing the way the world does business. Blackspot is an open-source brand, which means that it can be used by anyone for any purpose at no cost.

Blackspot shoes are made with hemp, recycled tires, vegan leather and produced in fair-trade factories. We also sell only to independent retailers worldwide in order to cycle money back into local economies.

Materials

Hemp, recycled tires, vegan leather, hand painted

Factory

Fair-trade, unionized, worker rights, supporting communities

Our hope is that people with similar philosophies will be inspired by our experiment in grassroots capitalism and start their own business ventures, spreading indie culture and providing ever more alternatives to buying from megacorporations.
