E I T H E R / O R is a collection of leather footwear ethically handmade with care.

The collection embodies a vintage nostalgia and a desire to live simply. The timeless craft of shoemaking was something we wanted to revive and revere, turning to Colombia, Portugal, and Peru for their incredible leather finishing and skilled handwork.

Designer, Paige, loves her shoes most when they are well-worn and hold memories of their travels. After working for years as a shoe designer in New York, she decided to leave the fast-fashion world to start a brand that focused on quality and sustainability at an inclusive price.

After dreaming and talking with her husband TC for years, they finally launched E / O from their apartment in Queens in 2020. With a background in sustainable building, TC is passionate about finding ways to reduce waste while creating products that last and break down naturally once their lifecycle is over. In the fall of 2020, they decided to return to their native Pacific Northwest.

E I T H E R / O R is just three people, working together to provide the best quality shoes directly to you. 

E I T H E R / O R is committed to sustainable sourcing, ethical manufacturing, and being a force for good in a changing world. Looking towards a brighter future, we are committed to staying true to ourselves and true to the ethical brand we are creating. Stay tuned! For info on their commitment to ethical sourcing click here.
