We have always pursued the value of simplicity and base our design philosophy on enduring modernity. We believe a design should be born bold and defiant and then age to become a classic; not fall into obsolescence.

We are developing our products with an increasingly sustainable approach. We are constantly searching for new ways and procedures, preserving the same ethic, traditional technique, and natural technology.

In addition to this, we are improving our production process and supply chain.Minimizing the impact is a never-ending journey: our intention is to continue growing in this direction.

Superga®’s iconic style is a symbol of simplicity. We subtract to refine and reveal the essence of a design: cotton, natural rubber, aluminum. All materials are carefully chosen. We are proud to state that the manufacturing process and the materials of our 2750 COTU CLASSIC and many other styles are certified100% vegan friendly and cruelty-free.

Superga®’s Organic Collection is the natural evolution of our brand. Superga® is aiming at employing the resources of our planet in an elegant and wise way, with natural materials and botanical dyes.

Superga®wants to respond to the need of those consumers who adopt a vegan lifestyle with a synthetic leather proposal, which is perfect for cold weather.

Recycled nylon:this material is made from 100% recycled PET

Recycled faux suede:this fabric is made from polyester and mimics the appearance and texture of real suede, but it’s easier to clean and preserve.

The company’s commitment is not limited to product research, but it also extends to packaging and accessories.

Paper and ink:starting from Fall Winter 2022, all packaging and hangtags will be printed on FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified recycled paper, with soy-based ink, plant-based coatings, and UV printing.

Soy ink:soy-based ink is considered a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based ink because it is extracted from soybeans, and not petroleum. The VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) that are usually generated during printing processes are absent, compared to those produced by petroleum ink.

Plant-based coatings:plant-based coatings are considered sustainable because they use plant waste from large companies.So, no use of petroleum, while maintaining a PU-like effect. In addition to plant-based coating, there is water-based coating. Recently, water-based coating has become the most used.

UV printing:the UV component is considered eco-friendly because it is a “non-VOC” additive. This means that no solvents, that could be harmful to the atmosphere, are released. The soy ink we use in which the UV coating is present will have no difficulty in being removed when the packaging is recycled.

Hangtag cord:starting from Fall Winter 2022, it will be made from recycled nylon, recycled paper, or jute.

Shoe filler:made from 100% recycled and recyclable plastic.
