Inspired by the rugged yet resilient Brooklyn neighborhood of Bed-Stuy, or, more formally, Bedford-Stuyvesant, the artisans at BedStü have grown into a diverse, creative, fiercely independent group. The family-run operation purposefully defies the mass-production approach. Each piece is hand-woven, sewn, washed and finished with incredible precision and skill. This human component contributes slight variations in texture and color, guaranteeing your boots or shoes will truly be one-of-a-kind creations.

BedStü also shares the Sundance passion for ethical sourcing. For starters, their selection of vegetable-tanned leather footwear uses only natural ingredients. From the leather uppers to the wood heels and wedges, all BedStü footwear parts are crafted using sustainably sourced, all-natural materials. This mindset even applies to their water-based glues and plant-based dyes. We agree that this approach is better for their workers, the planet, and all of us.

With a love for tradition, authentic construction, and handcrafted quality, BedStü footwear is one of the featured brands of the Sundance 30th anniversary celebration.
