A new sustainable partnership has been forged for outdoor and environmental enthusiasts. The eco footwear brand Indosole has been added to REI’s offering of products and brands in 2019. Indosole has now officially launched within 13 of REI’s influential retail outlets in California and online year-round at REI.com.
When founder of Indosole, Kyle Parsons first met with REI to discuss a future together, he learned about their vision to go into a more responsible retail direction in the future and with brands that align with their customers values and the protection of our environment as a priority.
It was refreshing to hear that a big company like REI could appreciate a small company like Indosole’s journey in setting up a business that celebrates: Responsible materials, Responsible and transparent manufacturing processes, Recycling, and education for the end consumer.
