Rabo de Toro’s Sustainability & Circular Economy Manifesto
Hot fetish fashion, with a clean conscience
At Rabo de Toro, we believe style should be fetish, fierce, fabulous, and future-friendly. From our kinky corner in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, The Canary Islands, Spain we serve looks with a side of responsibility—blending bold creativity, local roots, and love for the planet.
Our comprehensive Sustainability Program brings together environmental innovation, circular economy, social responsibility, and community action to lead positive change in the fashion industry.
This isn’t just a statement — it’s what we already live. But we’re committed to going further, step by sexy step, toward a more mindful, measurable, and transparent way of doing fetish fashion.
Local and small-batch magic
All our pieces are designed in-store and crafted in our workshop. We keep things limited, timeless, and as low-impact as a latex hug. We favor rescued, natural, or low-footprint materials — always made with hands, heart, and utmost responsibility. We prioritise eco-conscious, certified materials and produce locally in the Canary Islands, reducing transport emissions and supporting the regional economy.
Waste? Not on our runway
We reuse leftover fabrics, packaging, and whatever else still has life in it. Even scraps get a second act - because nothing (and no one) deserves to be thrown away. Our commitment to circular economy principles ensures that every stage of our production minimises waste and maximises resource efficiency.
Eco-Friendly Packaging
All our packaging is made from recycled, recyclable, or compostable materials, eliminating single-use plastics and reducing landfill waste. This approach not only protects your purchase but also the planet.
Carbon Footprint Reduction
Through our partnership with EcoCart, every customer can help us and the planet by making their order carbon-neutral while supporting certified climate projects at checkout. We continuously measure, reduce, and offset our emissions, aligning with international standards.
Energy with good vibes only
We run on good lighting (LEDs, darling), natural ventilation, and low energy use. We're exploring green energy and better systems as we grow—slow and sexy.
Ethical, local, and aligned
We choose nearby suppliers and certified providers and materials that match our values. We’ve started tracking where things come from and why they fit our vibe (ethical, sustainable, and fabulous).
Made by the gay fetish community, for the community
We don’t just sell - we show up. Our store is also a cultural space where energy rules, autonomy shines, and local identity is celebrated. We partner with fairs, artists, and collabs that make noise and make change. We empower local artisans, invest in educational workshops, and host clothing swaps and repair events. By fostering social equity and supporting local makers, we create opportunities and strengthen our community.
Social Responsibility
Fair labor, ethical sourcing, and inclusivity are central to our mission. We ensure safe working conditions, support fair wages, and partner with organizations that share our values, uplifting communities and promoting real social impact.
Certified, Transparent, Loud & Proud
Every piece tells a story. We share the juicy behind-the-scenes—materials, choices, and values—through our shop window, tags, socials, and real talk with our beloved kinksters. Our achievements are independently verified most notably through the AENOR Sustainable and Circular Trade Certification. This certification demonstrates our authentic commitment to transparency, ethical practices, and continuous improvement.
Always learning, never basic
We’re committed to learning more about sustainability, circular design, and ethical business. And we promise to apply it all to our kinky little reality.
Tracking progress, keeping it real
We’ll measure simple things—like textile waste, reused materials, and eco-conscious suppliers—to guide our next steps and keep the community in the loop.
Why It Matters
Sustainability in fashion is essential for reducing industry-wide emissions, protecting biodiversity, and ensuring fair treatment for all involved in the supply chain. Consumers today demand real action, not greenwashing, and we are proud to deliver verified, measurable results.
