Keep is a LA based vegan goods company. Launched in the summer of 2006, Keep came into being through the solid combination of timing, auspicious zodiacal forecasts and the deep desire to make classic, clean shoes without the bulk and bother of other brands. One of our goals is to make your choice in shopping easier, and one of the ways we do this is by making all Keep products vegan and cruelty-free. This means no animals were harmed when making our goods. This also means that we produce all of our footwear in factories audited by international, third-party non-profits who monitor ethical working conditions. A Keep representative is on the line of every production. We use natural, organic, and sustainably-grown materials as much as possible. We treasure the longtime traditions of handicraft, especially in textiles, and source materials from artisans in Guatemala, Japan and North America. Whether it's our obsession with handwoven ikat fabric and traditional Japanese indigo prints, or hand-pieced quilt patchwork and perfect herringbones, we try to pay homage to the skill and history of our favorite craftsmanship through the details of our goods.
