Mascaró still makes shoes in the same place where the company was founded in 1918, now with the third generation of the family running the business. Everything is made with loving care by craftsmen and women, many of whom are sons, daughters and granddaughters of the original workers. Only the finest Italian and Spanish leathers are used and great attention is paid to fit, style comfort and quality. Mascaró was a caring company long before the term corporate responsibility was coined, respecting its workers health and wellbeing, impacting the environment as little as possible with careful use of materials and recycling wherever possible, and behaving in an ethical, sustainable way in all of its activities. Mascaró is a vertically integrated business, designing, manufacturing and commercializing its own products and has over one hundred stores in twenty seven countries on five continents.
