INSIDE OUR FAMILY-OWNED FACTORY
In-house production and family values are the foundation of our business.
We believe a transparent approach empowers our customers to make an informed choice.
Each pair is hand-made in Peshtera, Bulgaria, using age-old techniques that have been handed down through generations of highly skilled artisan shoemakers. We also have our own manufacturing facilities for the design and production of: shoe lasts; shoe insoles; natural craft soles. Local production is important to us, because it supports our local industry, it keeps us connected to every step of the production process and our community of artisans, and it helps us ensure your INGILIZ shoes are made with love to the highest quality standards and with mindfulness for our beloved Planet Earth.
