Azores Furnas shoes are very comfortable, with a delicate design, in which the handmade textile and the design of the straps highlight the beauty of the shoe. They are produced in white cork with yellow handmade textile and have a strap and buckle with elastic to comfortably fit the foot.
The Azores Furnas are numbered and belong to a limited series of 50 pairs.
These shoes belong to the Azores Collection – the first collection using the weaving patterns from Ilha Terceira. This collection was inspired by the traditional weavings of the Azorean island’s quilts - Repasso. The motifs used in blankets were minimized, re-designed and new colours were added. The weaving were made by the artisan Eduarda Vieira, in Terceira Island, Azores and were certified by CRAA (Centro Regional de Artesanato dos Açores).

Cork is a natural material, recyclable, sustainable and vegan. It’s a very lightweight material, super soft, extremely flexible and easy to clean. We use cork from a Portuguese company, which have a natural forest and plantations of Cork Oak in Alentejo (south of Portugal). All the little pieces of cork are recycled multiple times. It’s a sustainable material used by NASA in the Space Aircrafts due to its properties. The Cork used by the brand is FSC certified.
