Welcome to Nelson Made
Nelson Made is built on a foundation of transparency, sustainability and ethical manufacturing. Every decision we make is underlined by these guiding principles.

We handcraft beautiful sandals that are built to be cherished forever, reducing the number of pieces we make and buy, which, in turn, reduces our wardrobe’s impact on nature. We source high quality materials that are kind to both people and the planet.
Our low impact materials include recycled leather, chrome free leather, Leather Working Group (LWG) certified leather, organic linen, OEKO TEX-certified fabrics, and deadstock fabrics.

Our Melbourne studio is powered by solar energy with Powershop, a clean energy co-operative, providing back-up power; our local & international orders are shipped with carbon neutral shipping companies in 100% biodegradable and compostable bags by the Better Packaging Co; and our packaging is made from 100% recycled and compostable paper products, ensuring that, from the inception of our shoes through to delivery at your door, our processes reflect our purpose to protect the natural environment.

Our flat sandals are made in-house in our clean energy Melbourne studio. Local production is important to us, because it helps to ensure the preservation of the craft of shoemaking in Australia, it helps to create and preserve the community of craftspeople in Australia, it keeps us connected to the making process, and it allows us to ensure your shoes are made with love to the highest quality standards so you can cherish your NM sandals forever.

Our more complex heeled sandals are handcrafted in our family-run partner factory in China, which is independently audited twice a year by Qualspec. Qualspec is one of the leading social certification standards for factories and organisations across the globe. This certification ensures compliance to standards regarding child labour, forced or compulsory labour, health and safely, freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining.
