About Chilote Shoes

Chilote Shoes is an award winning purpose driven brand established in Patagonia, creating a lasting and meaningful impact since 2012. All pieces are co-designed by Stiven Kerestegian and local artisan communities under a coop model in order to preserve and share their unique culture and craft. Each hand knit creation is slow-crafted using locally sourced renewable materials (wool & up-cycled leather) and include a unique QR code that transparently connects conscious consumers with independent artisan in Patagonia. All our production is made in small batches, being each piece unique and hand knitted by artisan women from their homes, bringing care and pride into every stitch. These ladies are the essence of our brand. Bcorp & Climate Positive.
