MAG and Corporate Responsibility

Our shoes are designed in the Netherlands and crafted in Portugal, we maintain every aspect of production within Europe. By producing locally and following both Portuguese and European standards, we make sure that our shoes meet quality and ethical guidelines in every pair. Our leather comes from Spain, Portugal, and Italy. No animal is raised solely for our products; we make it a priority to source leather as a byproduct of the food industry to minimize environmental impact.

We also use naturally tanned leathers like Biocouro, a biodegradable, eco-friendly material that requires less water and fewer chemicals. Although this process may lead to occasional, subtle irregularities in the leather, we take pride in these as a mark of our sustainability efforts.

Handmade means truly handmade. With every pair of shoes we offer, we try to balance both durability and environmental care. This emphasis on durable materials and artisanal production means that our shoes come with a price tag. That is why we are online-only at mag.nl, eliminating the need for intermediaries and extra costs.

While the majority of our products are produced within Europe, we make an exception for our socks, which are sourced from a trusted partner in China, certified by BDSI. Much can still be done, but we will take the steps forward with ambition.
