Fair trade

At Kelps, we believe that every pair of sandals begins with the people who make it possible.
From the fishermen and local communities who collect sargassum on the beaches of Mexico, to the skilled artisans who shape our sandals, fair trade is not just a label — it is our way of doing business.

We ensure that everyone involved in our supply chain is treated with dignity and respect. Our partners in Mexico are paid fair wages, above local standards, so that their work truly supports their families and communities. We are committed to safe working conditions, respect for human rights, and building long-term relationships based on trust and transparency.

Partnership for us means more than contracts — it means growing together. By collaborating with local cooperatives, workshops, and family-owned businesses, we create a model where profit and purpose go hand in hand. Each sandal represents not only sustainable design but also a positive impact on the lives of those who contribute to it.

Kelps is proud to stand by our promise: every step is fair, every partnership is meaningful.
