Crafting Sustainability, One Step at a Time
When tasked with designing the new Exalters, Eija and her team had several goals in mind. Firstly, they wanted to meet the demands of eco-conscious consumers by incorporating recycled and bio-based materials into the shoes. Secondly, they aimed to enhance the Exalter family by introducing improved models while maintaining the perfect fit and construction that Exalters are known for. Lastly, they were committed to creating a durable product that would stand the test of time, reducing the need for frequent replacements and ultimately conserving natural resources.
"Quality is paramount. A truly quality product is one that lasts longer in use, outperforming several lower-quality alternatives." - Eija Karjanmäki, Footwear Designer at Ejendals
