ONE432

ONE432 is a social impact apparel company based out of New York. We share 50% of our profit from each sale with our artisans and with schools to sponsor the education of underprivileged children. Our products include footwear and clothing; all our products are intricately designed and hand-crafted. The footwear range includes modern interpretations of “Juttis” (symmetrical South Asian shoes) and home slippers. Our clothing line includes hoodies, sweatshirts, t-shirts, dresses and various home products / accessories like pillows and tote-bags.

Our founder, CEO and Creative Director, Ammar Belal, is a Professor at the Parsons School of Design and Columbia University, and created ONE432 as a direct result of wanting to challenge the status quo and tear down traditional systems and exploitive business models that have been unfair for so long that it had simply become accepted. ONE432, or “1-4-3-2” represents a disruption to the conventional and established “1-2-3-4” approach, through the promotion of fair labour practices, sustainable design and production, generous profit sharing and radical transparency. On our website you can see exactly how much money we share from the sale of each product, and there are trackers measuring, in real time, the amount of money shared with our artisans and the schools that we support. We are also committed to raising the bar in sustainability – we use handloom woven cotton, upcycled denim and leather sourced as scrap from nearby factories, and use vegetable dyes. ONE432 was recently featured by Vogue Business as an ethical social enterprise that places our artisans at the centre of our company.
