In addition to being made from recycled plant materials, our TOPSY is made in a production workshop in the northern region of Portugal, and consists of raw materials sourced in Italy and Spain, for a sneaker 100% of European origin, produced in a reduced perimeter, and the key, less CO2 emissions from transport.
More than a basketball, a hymn to the living.
A VEGETABLE BASKET IN TRIBUTE TO THE ELEPHANT TOPSY
The name Topsy was inspired by a female elephant born in Asia in 1867 and who died in New York in 1903 after spending her life in captivity in a circus.
Defending himself from abuse inflicted by its owners, Topsy ends up killing a trainer while he tried to make him eat a lit cigarette. To punish her for this act, it was decided to sentenced to death by electrocution in a public place at Coney Island January 4, 1903.
Naming this elephant, who has become a sad symbol of animal cruelty, is our way of paying tribute to her memory, and our way of calling for greater consideration of animal life.
