Ecco UK
From Design to Your Feet
It all starts at Ecco’s Design Centre.
Ecco’s designers search for inspiration from many
sources – from fashion, art, architecture, the car industry – and, of
course, they follow what is happening in society closely.
Nevertheless, they remain influenced by Scandinavian
design, nature around them and our Ecco Heritage. No shoe ever leaves
the Design Centre without it being checked for lightness, softness,
flexibility, comfort and fit.
Ecco is constantly challenging the boundaries of
comfort, innovative shoe design and the market’s best quality. This
requires uncompromising product development in which every detail from
design to production is carefully planned and monitored. Therefore, Ecco
has chosen to control the entire process from cow to customer. Ecco is
the only major shoe manufacturer to own and manage every step in the
shoemaking process.
Leather
Leather is a fundamental element in an Ecco shoe.
Ecco is one of the five largest producers of quality leather in the
world, and only top quality leathers are produced at Ecco’s tanneries
which supply Ecco’s shoe factories and external customers. Ecco produces
45 million square feet of wet blue and 27.8 million square feet of
leather annually.
