Our Commitment to Craftsmanship
"We have vetted every supplier we work with to ensure their people are taken care of. We refuse to work in cheap sweatshops so why should we endorse the fruit of their hard labor."

CRAFTSMANSHIP
The Heartbeat of 176 Marches
At 176 Marches, we believe in more than just crafting luxurious sneakers; we believe in creating a legacy. In a world where speed and cost-cutting often overshadow quality and integrity, we've chosen a different path—one that celebrates craftsmanship, artisanship, and sustainable luxury.
We have decided to cast a spotlight on the unparalleled craftsmanship and artisanship that Italy is renowned for. Every piece we produce is a testament to the dedication and skill of Italian artisans who have refined their craft over generations.
By collaborating with skilled craftsmen, not only are we producing exquisite pieces; we are also preserving a rich heritage of craftsmanship that is often overlooked in the fast fashion industry. Our commitment ensures that the art of fine shoemaking continues to flourish, one meticulous stitch at a time.
LEATHER AND SUSTAINABILITY
Gold LWG certified concerie
We are proud to work exclusively with concerie (tanneries) who hold the prestigious Gold certification from the Leather Working Group (LWG), the highest standard in the industry.
This certification reflects their commitment to exceptional environmental, social, and governance practices. By adhering to the strictest protocols, our suppliers ensure superior standards in animal welfare, minimise environmental impact, and demonstrate social responsibility throughout the leather tanning process. Their efforts are part of a circular economy, transforming by-products into valuable materials while maintaining rigorous traceability and sustainability across the supply chain.
Our production processes are designed with sustainability in mind. From the energy-efficient practices in our Italian workshops to our use of recyclable packaging, we are constantly seeking ways to reduce our impact on the planet. We believe that true luxury is not only about exclusivity and elegance but also about being conscientious stewards of our environment.
OUR CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSABILITY
Walking the Talk
In the end, our corporate social responsibility is about making choices that reflect our values. We choose to celebrate and sustain the timeless art of Italian craftsmanship. We choose quality over quantity, elegance over expediency, and responsibility over recklessness.
So, the next time you lace up a pair of 176 Marches sneakers, know that you are not just wearing a beautifully crafted shoe. You are supporting a brand that values tradition, embraces sustainability, and is committed to making a positive impact, one luxurious step at a time.
Because at 176 Marches, we believe that luxury should never be rushed, and neither should responsibility.
