MAREA

Marea New York is founded by Spanish-born, Brooklyn-based designer and creative Maria Gordillo with the intention of producing unique sandals with a sense of place and made with inherently fair and sustainable practices.
Marea New York sandals are for the modern woman, with both style and identity for everywhere from the city to the shore.

After several years determining the most authentic and ethical manufacturing sources, Gordillo now works with three small-scale factories in Peru, each under the leadership of women. One factory to create the right natural dyes for the fabric uppers, a collective of Peruvian women artisans to braid each textile, and a family-run factory to assemble the sandals by hand.
