Everyday Impact: Cocorose Comfort, World Bee Day & Supporting Young Carers

Small Steps, Big Impact

Comfort doesn't have to come at the cost of conscience. In fact, the small decisions we make — from the shoes we wear to the way they’re made — can add up to something far more powerful.

Our shoes are designed with foldability, longevity, and versatility in mind. That means fewer pairs bought and discarded over time, and more thoughtful wardrobes built to last. By producing in small batches and embracing sustainable materials like our vegan cactus leather, we’re keeping our environmental footprint lighter and more intentional.

We're always learning, tweaking, and finding joy in those tiny improvements. Because when you're making something to be worn in real life — through puddles, cobbled streets, long school runs, and impromptu detours — the details do matter.

More About Bees & Biodiversity

Bees do more than buzz about in summer gardens. They’re essential pollinators for nearly 75% of the crops we eat and plants we rely on. Without them, biodiversity would collapse and our food systems would struggle.

Through our sustainability partnerships, including tree planting, we’re trying to honour that biodiversity every step of the way. We believe fashion should tread lightly, and that includes avoiding harsh chemicals, investing in cleaner materials, and reducing harm to wildlife habitats.

🐝 3 Simple Things You Can Do to Help Bees:
• Plant bee-friendly flowers like lavender, borage, or wild marjoram
• Avoid pesticides in your garden or balcony planters
• Support local beekeepers by buying local honey

Supporting Young Carers: Why It Matters

Imagine being ten years old and responsible for helping your mum bathe or making dinner for your siblings after school. That’s the reality for over 800,000 young carers in the UK — children who look after a parent or family member who’s ill, disabled, or struggling with mental health.

We’ve been proudly supporting The Honeypot Children’s Charity through our Hoxton Queen Bee trainers and other products in our collection, with proceeds going directly to fund respite breaks and emotional support for young carers.

Every time we see a pair of Queen Bees out in the wild, it reminds us of that mission. Thank you for walking with us.

The Ripple Effect of Everyday Choices

When you choose to support an independent brand that values people and planet, your impact goes far beyond what’s on your feet.

You're backing small-batch artisans.
You're nurturing eco-innovation.
You're uplifting charities doing real work, with real heart.

And you’re helping to tell a story — one of comfort, care, and conscious living.

So here’s to the everyday, and all the quietly powerful ways it can still change everything.

With love,
Janan & Team Cocorose xx
