/WHAT ARE RESPONSIBLE ROLLER SKATES?

 

The sustainable approach objective is to limit the production impact on the environment, by optimising its components and favouring short circuits.


Based on this definition we want to meet your ethical expectations. Our prestigious Italian partner, Roll Line, supports us in our approach with components that are exclusively European. In addition, we pay a special attention to your sustainable roller skates finishes by producing them by hand and in short quantities.
