Novesta has become one of the last purely European produced brands throughout Europe since its creation. Our journey began when Bata opened their factory in 1939 and since then we are one of the few world’s brands left, operating in the original premise with the original method on the good old reliable machines with great amount of precise manual work.
Our heritage products are designed with longevity in mind, this has been the case since the launch in 1939. The design and materials have been chosen specifically for this reason. Our traditional way of production ensures the prolonged lifetime of our sneakers while also creating designs with simple, good look that are transcending the fashion trends. All our heritage products are washable, with the possibility to replace the insoles, natural rubber outsoles that have been tested by years of service.
As we want to bring to the world a product that is sustainable in the most possible way we always source, from start to finish, material that is transparent, fair and sustainable along the supply chain this includes VFCS certified natural rubber supplies from verified suppliers only and GOTS organic cotton certified uppers for our Star Master and Dribble signature models. Our Marathon model is also designed to take as much recycled synthetic mesh as possible and includes an outsole from certified natural rubber.
As a brand we are not just proud of the quality and popularity of our handmade shoes but the fact that our shoes are eco-friendly. We are a major advocate for the environment and that is why we have continued to produce sustainable shoes and started to create Vegan friendly versions of our notable shoe styles having obtained the VEGAN/PETA certification.
