Grounded People is about being part of a movement for a more sustainable future in fashion. We want to change how people view everyday products by solving the current negative impacts of fast fashion and preserving the planet through sustainable practices. We make sustainable products with a purpose and pride ourselves in our entire production process being cruelty-free.
Our core principles at Grounded People are based on the ethical treatment of all living beings. We are taking sustainable actions to work with mother nature instead of against her. From start to finish, all our products are 100% vegan.
We're based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The idea for Grounded People came to fruition when the founder and CEO travelled abroad and experienced the negative impacts of the fashion industry firsthand.
The environmental impact and use of animal by-products in fashion production are evident and widely recognized. A change had to be made, so we created a stylish brand that cares for the planet and all living beings on earth. Through our partnerships, we have established a small but very dedicated team of artisans who assemble our products almost entirely by hand.
Miracles start with a change of thinking, changing the world won't be easy, but every journey begins with one step… Let's make the world a better place and look great doing it.

Our circular fashion program allows us to recycle used Grounded People shoes so they can continue life as a product instead of going to a landfill. All footwear returned to us will be recycled responsibly and you’ll receive a discount on your next pair for doing your part for the environment.
Circular fashion is a system where our clothing and personal belongings are produced through a more considered model: where the production of an item and the end of its life are equally as important. This system considers materials and production thoughtfully, emphasizing the value of utilizing a product right to the end, then going one step further and repurposing it into something else. The focus is on the longevity and life cycle of our possessions, including designing out waste and pollution. Essentially, the “circular” comes as a response to previous economic and societal models that have been “linear” to date, and harmful on the planet along the way.
Key points of circular fashion:
- Using less materials when producing individual items for increased recyclability
- Working to remove non recyclable and polluting materials from the supply chain
- Recapturing everything from garment offcuts to packaging for reuse
- Ensuring use and reuse for as long as possible including collection schemes and bringing the recycled materials back to a “good as new” state
- Returning any unavoidable waste to nature safely
