Omar CAMARA
“The value of an object doesn't lie in its rarity, but in the ethical care invested in its making.”
Cog exists because Omar Camara went looking for trainers made without animal materials and found almost nothing on the market, so he drew his own and took the sketches to family workshops in Portugal instead. The label's leather is pressed from grape pomace, the skins and stems wineries throw away, and the debut collection, Éclosion, was funded by crowdfunding rather than an investor. He draws every model himself.
