As one of Brazil's leading footwear brands and part of Latin America's largest fashion footwear group, we started with great ambitions. Craftwork, passion, and innovation were a spark of inspiration for Anderson & Jefferson Birman back in 1972. In the 50 years since Arezzo started, generations of the Birman family have led the way for the finest fashion, with high quality and unique designs that last for all life occasions.
Nowadays, more than 7,000 people keep the legacy going, preserving traditional craftsmanship while embracing modern manufacturing processes. As a result, Arezzo became a fashion powerhouse devoted to inspiring and shaping tomorrow's connections.
Consolidated as a trendsetter thanks to unparalleled creativity, we stand as a top-of-mind brand in the footwear segment and a favorite best-seller in Brazil, constantly featured in the news and present at the main international fashion events. We're present in over 50 countries with a broad distribution network, including franchises, retail stores, and wholesale doors globally, delivering a truly unique experience for our customers. Arezzo is scaling at pace to become one of the world's most exciting fashion brands.
Proud of our history, we know we're only getting started.
Arezzo has been an ally to women of all generations for the last 50 years, making them feel unique by respecting their individuality while being democratic and building a diverse community. Our shoes are known for their great design, attainable prices, and high-quality product that lasts.
From mother to daughter, sisters to friends, we keep establishing ever-lasting emotional bonds. Our offering is for all to feel confident and elegant while remaining true to their identity — real fashion in their own real way. Every style is unique, and every individual is special.
All our products are fairly and responsibly made in Brazil, safeguarding human rights and looking for a positive impact on people and the community. Paving the way for ethical fashion, Arezzo requires manufacturing to have a high added social value.
Made by passionate people, Arezzo has 5 owned factories in Vale dos Sinos, one of the best-known shoemaker regions in Brazil, where fair wages and full compliance with Brazilian labor laws come standard. This responsibility extends to more than 80 outsourced partners working with us, creating value for our community and supporting where we live and make our products.
To build our collective ambitions, it's essential to have an environment that inspires people to grow. That's why our team is constantly trained and evolving in relevant topics. As a brand that empowers people to be their best version, our culture also means embracing diversity.
To Arezzo, sustainable entrepreneurship and profitable growth walk side by side. We can remain competitive only by creating added value for society. Responsible action shapes the core of our company's culture, which includes the interests of our employees, customers, and investors, as well as society. Our success is built on boldness, integrity, and transparency — strong values that inspire our sustainable growth.
We closely monitor new global trends and challenges. As a B-Corp company, we look toward the best practices in environmental management, social responsibility, and governance, focusing our efforts on preserving life and biodiversity. We aim to keep our impact on the environment as low as possible: 100% of our packaging is made of recycled and biodegradable materials, and 70% of our tannery suppliers hold certifications like the Leather Working Group (LWG) and the Brazilian Leather Sustainable Certification. Arezzo also participates in dialogues and initiatives, consults with other organizations in our industry, and assesses media and news coverage to minimize risks. We want to set an example for ethical conduct.
