We decided to start our journey by pushing for new solutions in the shoe material, investing in new socio-environmentally conscious brand. our shoes are moving the needle toward circular fashion.

People first

All the people involved with HAI HAI deserve the best treatment by creating trusting and long-term relationships.

Our products are 100% handmade, which reduces the need for machinery and, therefore, emissions. Also we are preserving moroccan handcraft heritage from generation.

Using natural and recycled materials. Such as Raffia and recycled tyres

Our manifesto

We are committed to protecting and promoting the heritage of Moroccan craftsmanship, as well as the hands, lives, and environments of the artisans who make it possible. HAI HAI expresses sincere gratitude towards these artisans who, through their knowledge, work, and dedication, preserve their cultural roots to improve their own economy, as well as that of their families and environment.

We are determined to help, support, and expand artisan communities that are witnessing the gradual disappearance of the craft developed by their ancestors. Our aim is to reconnect with the roots of Moroccan craftsmanship, reclaim its essence, showcase its beauty, and transform it ethically and sustainably. By doing so, we provide our clients with meaningful objects that carry a sense of purpose.

People first

In our company, we prioritize people. We firmly believe in sustainable employment opportunities for individuals of all strengths, abilities, and cultural commitments. We place particular emphasis on empowering women in Morocco, as they make up the majority of our artisans.

By providing jobs to women, our aim is to promote their independence and economic empowerment. We have witnessed remarkable transformations as our support has enabled them to break free from traditional constraints and become self-reliant. We have not only created employment opportunities but also fostered a sense of community and cooperation among these women.

Through our initiatives, we have helped small families. We take pride in bringing new sources of income to those who may have been limited or restricted in seeking employment outside their region due to social norms or other factors.

Handcraft

We take pride in our products, as they are meticulously crafted by hand. This ensures their uniqueness and quality but also significantly reduces the reliance on machinery, leading to a reduction in emissions. By embracing traditional artisanal techniques, we are not only creating sustainable products but also preserving the rich heritage of Moroccan handcraft that has been passed down from generation to generation.
