Baxter Wood
When it comes to sustainable living, oftentimes one of the most difficult areas to overcome is footwear. The mass market of sneakers, shoes, and boots consists of options made from synthetic materials in styles intended to be discarded and replaced over and over again. However, with the introduction of Baxter Wood, an innovative and green fashion start-up, our eco-options for boots have expanded!
Centered around the idea of creative uncreation, Baxter Wood is challenging consumers to rethink their expectations and assumptions when it comes to mainstream apparel and accessories. One of their starring products is an elevated, eco-twist on the classic Chelsea boot. A timeless staple in every closet, their minimalist boot is waterproof, fashion-forward, and best of all sustainably and ethically made.
Baxter Wood was founded in 2018 after creators Kweku Larbi and Sarah Smith visited Kweku's hometown in Ghana and were astounded by the accumulation of plastic waste all around them. Their love of fashion and desire to ameliorate plastic pollution inspired them to create an intricate yet minimalist accessory line with eco-conscious materials, starting with post-consumer plastic water bottles and delving into consciously sourced natural rubber. The name Baxter Wood'' actually came to Kweku in a dream and he and Sarah later discovered that it was also the name of a nature reserve in Maine. Soon after, Baxter Wood was born and the eco-revolution fueling their fashion brand began!
