It's cool to be kind
We are Bear & Mees. We believe it’s cool to be kind. Kind to human and nature.
Bear & Mees is a Dutch sustainable footwear-label, produced in Portugal and made for children in size range 24 – 34. We make animal friendly footwear made of vegan materials such as organic cotton, recycled PET-bottles and other fair-trade materials.
Impact
At Bear & Mees we want to make an impact. We want to inspire children to explore the world around them and to learn from that. We don’t pretend to solve the effects that the textile industry has on our environment. We just dare them to be aware.
We are not tree-huggers, but we do like to hug animals. Animals play a big role in the lives of our kids. Animals intrigue them, they comfort them and they want to take care of them. Let’s keep it that way.

Kidsproof
Kids will be kids and they have other priorities on their mind, such as playing! Therefore, shoes should be easy to put on. At Bear & Mees we prefer velcro over laces.
Slow fashion
At Bear & Mees we are in favour of “Slow Fashion”. Because we offer limited editions, we do not go on sale. During the season, we will supplement the collection with new color variations or models. In addition, we choose to use high-quality, sustainable materials instead of leather.
Summer 2020
The summer collection is based on the inspirational worlds of children. The appealing prints of the wild life is always intriguing. This is printed on 100% organic cotton. From harvesting the raw material through manufacturing, it is processed by both respecting the environment as the social responsibility.
The other prints we used is based on our colorful underwater world. This fascinating world is used as a starting point to address the plastic soup problem in the oceans.Therefore, the uppers of the sneakers are made of recycled PET-bottles.
