Our take
Sustainability is a feature that is highly sought after in today's fashion landscape, but premium clothing often fails to meet these interests. Beyond this, the few available sustainable alternatives are usually difficult to wash, maintain and recycle - which is what Rothy hopes to change.
Rothy designs accessories that simultaneously aim to be fashionable, durable, and eco-friendly. Its main focus is shoes, though it also sells bags and purses in a range of styles. Whilst companies have been using sustainable materials in fashion for many years, Rothy stands out for catering to an environment-conscious audience that does not want to compromise comfort and quality for their ethical decisions.
With sustainability concerns on the rise among consumers, Rothy's target market is growing year on year. This, combined with the comfort-first image it has accrued, should present plenty of opportunity for growth in the company's future.
