ECCO leather shoes

ECCO is a world-renowned Danish footwear brand, famously recognized for its dedication to comfort and minimalist Scandinavian design principles. Founded in 1963 by Karl Toosbuy, the company is unique in the footwear industry because it maintains full control over its entire supply chain. This vertical integration means that ECCO owns and operates its own tanneries and manufacturing facilities, ensuring high standards of leather quality and craftsmanship.

While the brand is deeply rooted in Danish heritage, its production is international. ECCO shoes are manufactured in multiple countries, including Thailand, Slovakia, Vietnam, Portugal, Indonesia, and China, using leather sourced from the brand's tanneries in the Netherlands, China, Indonesia, and Thailand. The brand remains a family-owned entity, with its headquarters still located in Bredebro, Denmark, continuing the legacy of its founder into the modern era.
