About us
?propos footwear is proud to be part of the mill revival in Lawrence, Massachusetts.

Our boutique factory: made in USA

Years ago, the mills of Lawrence, MA hummed with typical sounds and the familiar activity of manufactunng machines. All along the canal and Merrimac River, mills shared the energy and livelihood afforded by shoe making, apparel makers, paper and box mills, to name just a few.

As manufacturers moved their production off shore, the mills became empty and mostly fell into disrepair and neglect. In 2001, we moved into a small comer of a mostly abandoned five-story mill set between the Lawrence canal and Merrimac River. Today, the mill is fully occupied with over fifty small businesses and a neighborhood college campus.

Our textiles

We canvas textile mills around the world for quality fabncs in unique patterns and color combinations that created distinctive, accessorizing effects like a scarf for your feet? ? all with an eye on the practicality of machine-washing and durability.

Our concept and collections

We introduce two collections annually and never repeat a pattern. Once we cut through our yardage, we move onto the next unique motif or color scheme, keeping our collections fresh and fun. For more of our unique concepts, visit New Designs and Collections.

The following is a reply from Apropos to our question – "Are your products Made in the USA?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
