“We want to atone for the sins of earlier productions and overconsumption. We want to do good.”
Mette Engelbrecht has spent more than twenty years designing footwear, from sneakers to women’s shoes. With Atone, she wanted to make flats differently: close enough to the workshops to visit, understand the process, and refine every detail. She leads the product and design. Her longtime friend Lotte Garnry, who works in media and advertising strategy, co-founded the label and shapes how it speaks to the world. After years of talking about building something together, they launched Atone in 2024.
