Bear & Mees

we are bear & mees. we believe it’s cool to be kind. kind to human and nature. bear & mees is a dutch sustainable footwear-label, produced in portugal and made for children from 3 – 9 years old. we make footwear made of organic cotton and recycled pet bottles. at bear & mees we want to make an impact. we want to inspire children to explore the world around them and to learn from that. we don’t pretend to solve the effects that the textile industry has on our environment. we just dare them to be aware. we are not tree-huggers, but we do like to hug animals. animals play a big role in the lives of our kids. animals intrigue them, they comfort them and they want to take care of them. let’s keep it that way. we approach every shoe from a child’s point of view, designing shoes that are both colorful and playful and therefore appealing to children. we don’t make a difference in design between boys and girls, they are gender-free. kids will be kids and they have other priorities on the
