Brave Soles

Brave Soles believes in the power of circular fashion to build a better future for all of us. Founded in 2017 by Christal Earle, Brave Soles is focused on crafting classically styled footwear and accessories with upcycled materials and ethical, small scale production chains. Their handcrafted shoes have up-cycled tire soles and all accessories are crafted from reclaimed leather from aircraft seats and other sources.

Our brand was inspired by our founder’s work with vulnerable landfill workers in the Dominican Republic. Through research and local partnerships, she discovered that a fashion business model focused on meaningful work, responsible production and within the reach of average consumers could help inspire and create meaningful change.

In 2019 we were nominated for a Canadian Fashion Innovation award and we are part of numerous initiatives in Canada and globally to help create a more sustainable future through the power of ethical fashion.
