Purely Listed analysis

Official homepage/about pages and product feed were reviewed. Sampled products included shoe models with organic cotton, hemp, wool, and elastane terms appearing. No brand-wide plastic-free claim is assumed; sewing thread, elastic, linings, closures, finishes, and trims still require product-level confirmation. The score is brand-wide: an excellent 100% natural-fiber item does not make a mixed catalog synthetic-free.

What to verify before buying

Confirm the exact product page and care label for fiber percentages, sewing thread, elastic, labels, linings, closures, finishes, coatings, and packaging. “100%” normally describes the main fabric unless the brand provides a full component bill of materials.

Material risk

Current product-listing risk terms detected: polyester, polyamide, elastane. Continue to verify item-level composition, linings, trims, thread, waistbands, closures, finishes, and packaging before treating any product as plastic-free.
