About Us
MADE ETHICALLY IN SPAIN
We believe it is possible to create fashion under good working conditions and fair trade.
In Spain, we have some of the best leather artisans in the world. By producing in Spain we can reduce our carbon footprint, ensure high quality products and generate quality employment, supporting small and medium size businesses and artisans.
OUR TEAM
At Canussa, we firmly believe that achieving gender equality is not merely a goal but a shared responsibility. Our team is composed of 100% dedicated and empowered women who work together with unwavering passion and determination. We are committed to driving positive change and fostering gender equality both within our company and in the broader community.
As a proud participant in the United Nations Women's Empowerment Principles (WEPs) initiative, we are further empowered to promote women's rights and advocate for equality worldwide. We firmly believe that by uplifting and empowering women, we can create a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
Together, let's build a world where every woman's potential knows no bounds. Welcome to Canussa, where empowerment knows no limits.
TOWARDS A CIRCULAR FUTURE
We know the future of the economy is circular, and we are working to become a circular fashion brand.
We have already worked on eliminating waste and pollution by following a zero waste policy within our production process and we reduce pollution by diminishing our carbon footprint as much as we can and planting a tree for each product we make.
We have also worked with circular products and materials, using recycled textiles where possible, extending the lifetime of our products and collaborating with fashion sharing platforms. We are currently working on regenerating our products at the end of their life.
Merging Durabilty, practicity and style
One of the problems that the fashion industry is causing to the environment is the amount of waste it generates. This is mainly due to the consumption of low cost fashion that has created the throwaway fashion culture.
At Canussa, we want to promote a responsible consumption by creating products that last for many years: Our timeless designs for a perfect capsule wardrobe.
We firmly want to extend the life of our fashion garments. On top of creating high quality and durable products, we believe it is important for them to be beautiful, but still remain practical.
The more you like them and the more practical you find them the more you will use them. We also love them to be multifunctional so you can wear a Canussa many times at many different occasions, be they formal or casual.
MINIMAL CARBON FOOTPRINT
1 CANUSSA = 1 TREE PLANTED
We care deeply about the planet and creating a business that gives back to nature. That’s why we’re thrilled to share that we’re partnering with One Tree Planted to plant a tree for every Canussa sold.
Trees clean our air and water, create habitats for biodiversity, contribute to our health and wellbeing, and create jobs for social impact. We’re honored to have reforestation through One Tree Planted as an integral part of our business model.
RESPECT FOR ANIMALS
At Canussa we are committed to the use of non-animal-derived fabrics. We’re delighted to have been awarded the coveted ‘VEGAN PETA Approved’ designation.
We are continuously seeking for the most sustainable vegan alternatives to leather. To us durability is key when choosing a fabric, so our products can last for years. The microfiber currently used for the exterior of our accessories is a waterproof fabric ' that looks and feels like natural leather that is washable, light and highly resistant.
The STANDARD Oeko-Tex 10 is an independent testing and certification system that guarantees that the fabric we use has been tested and meets the required criteria to be considered a fabric free of toxic substances that are harmful to our health.
Nevertheless, we are continuously testing and trying new vegan alternatives to leather, to get the latest, most sustainable and high-resistant fabrics available.
