REVIVAL reimagines sustainable luxury through exquisite Espadrilles, blending Japanese Circulation Aesthetics with the vibrant craftsmanship of Bangladeshi artisans. Using eco-conscious materials like jute, upcycled leather, and recycled fabrics, each piece reflects our commitment to style, sustainability, and empowering local communities. We donate a portion of profits to fund schools and craft villages in Bangladesh.
