Size & Fit

If you're between sizes, we suggest sizing down as the fabric and leather will soften and mold to your foot with wear. The adjustable ribbon ankle ties allow for a customised fit throughout the day.

Premium Natural Materials

Quality begins with exceptional materials. Our espadrille wedges are crafted from vibrant 100% cotton canvas, giving a classic natural look. Inside, a 100% sheep leather lining offers exceptional breathability and a soft, natural feel against the skin. The traditional jute-wrapped wedge lends an organic finish, while the durable rubber outsole provides modern practicality without compromising on style. Ribbon ankle ties add a playful finishing touch.

Style Meets Comfort

These heels prove that versatile style and comfort can coexist beautifully. The 7cm wedge offers graceful elevation while distributing weight evenly across the foot - unlike stilettos that place pressure on the ball. The refined closed-toe silhouette transitions effortlessly from office meetings to evening gatherings, while the adjustable ribbon ankle ties ensure a secure, custom fit throughout the day. They're made for day-to-night styling.

Handcrafted With Care

In a world of mass production, these shoes stand apart. Each pair requires over 10 hours of skilled craftsmanship by a team of local Kenyan artisans, who cut, stitch, and assemble by hand. Our small-batch production helps avoid wastage and ensures high-quality pieces that celebrate African style and quality craftsmanship.
