Soft leather lining gives these espadrille sandals a more luxurious feel from the moment you slip them on, and the slip-resistant sole helps you move with confidence. Handcrafted in Kenya in small batches, they are a beautiful choice for women who want expressive, polished and meaningful shoes.

Natural Materials

Our wedge sandals are crafted from premium natural materials chosen for both beauty and comfort. The uppers feature 100% cotton African print fabric, while the interior is lined with 100% sheep leather for exceptional breathability. The signature jute-wrapped wedge heel provides an effortlessly natural look, with a durable rubber outsole for reliable traction. These materials are sourced responsibly and selected to create footwear that's as kind to the earth as it is to your feet.

Composition:
• Outer: 100% Cotton (in African Print)
• Lining: 100% Sheep leather
• Insole: 100% Sheep leather
• Sole: Rubber
• Wedge height: 7cm (2.7 inches)
• Handcrafted in Kenya

Size & Fit

Our wedges run wide. We recommend ordering your usual size for the perfect 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 customized fit throughout the day.

Care

Keep your African print espadrilles looking beautiful for years with proper care. The cotton fabric and leather materials age gracefully when treated well.

Care Instructions:

• Remove loose dirt and dust with a soft bristle brush.
• For stubborn marks on fabric, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth or sponge.
• Remove excess moisture with a dry cloth.
• Allow to air dry naturally away from direct heat or sunlight.
• Apply leather conditioner occasionally to the leather lining to maintain suppleness.
• Store in a cool, dry place to preserve the fabric colours.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to water or extreme temperatures.

These platform espadrilles prove that bold style and comfort can coexist! The 7cm wedge heel offers graceful elevation while distributing weight evenly across the foot - unlike stilettos that place pressure on the ball.

They're made for moments when you want to make a statement.
