We design sustainable shoes using indigenous wool sourced responsibly from local pastoral and weaver communities. With our cross-subsidization initiative, these shoes are made accessible and affordable to farmers, promoting an inclusive nation.
Craft
The indigenous wool blankets used for making the shoes are locally known as Gongadi/Kambali and the art of weaving these blankets is a traditional craft of the pastoral communities of India. This craft is on the verge of extinction and Earthen Tunes with its wool shoes is trying to provide a contemporary application to these blankets and in turn help in reviving the craft.
Made in India
20+ weaver clusters
Preserving Heritage
Community
Earthen Tunes follows a cross-subsidy model to provide the shoes at a nominal price to the farmers where the sales of the Urban shoe subsidies the farmer shoes. By using indigenous wool, Earthen Tunes is providing employment and consistent income to the local artisans of the pastoral communities

Climate Change
The Indigenous wool blankets used by Earthen Tunes is helping support Pastoral communities and Pastoralism in India. And Pastoralism is know to have multiple ecological benefits that could help in reversing Climate change.
Pastoralism supports the green economy by carbon sequestration (capture and storage of atmospheric carbon dioxide) . Grazing lands cover five billion hectares globally. Sequestration between 200-500 kg of carbon per hectare per year playing a vital role in climate change mitigation.
