Larroude is a fashion brand in footwear, and the public sustainability picture is limited. Independent rating content suggests it is not yet strong on environmental or labour issues. Good On You rates the brand “not good enough,” saying there is little evidence of lower carbon emissions, textile waste reduction, or strong worker protections. Customer review data also points to service problems, which can affect trust in the brand overall. On the positive side, the brand has been discussed in fashion conversations about sustainability, traceability, and inclusive design, but the available evidence does not show a clear, well-documented ESG strategy.
Positive Sentiment Found
There is some limited positive third-party sentiment around Larroude’s sustainability position, but it is mostly indirect. Good On You notes that the brand uses some eco-friendly materials, including organic cotton, and that it uses down certified by the Responsible Down Standard, which is a welfare label for down and feathers. The brand is also described as not using fur, exotic animal skin, or angora. In a fashion blog, Larroude’s co-founder was included in a wider discussion about trust, transparency, and sustainability in fashion, which suggests the brand is part of that conversation. Commons, a sustainability app, also promotes expert-rated brands and has a 4.8/5 average app rating from users, but it does not provide a Larroude-specific score in the material shown.
Common Criticisms:
The strongest third-party signal is negative. Good On You rates Larroude “not good enough” overall and says there is no evidence it is reducing carbon emissions in most of its supply chain, no evidence it is cutting textile waste in manufacturing, and no evidence it has a biodiversity policy. It also says little of the supply chain is certified by labour standards, there is no evidence of a living wage policy, and the brand has been linked to cotton from Xinjiang, China, a region associated with forced-labour risk, with insufficient remediation. Customer reviews on Trustpilot are also poor, with a 1.5/5 rating from 91 reviews, and comments mention delayed orders and weak customer service. Together, these sources suggest weak transparency and trust issues.
