Why choose Raffia

• Raffia is a sustainable alternative to traditional materials such as plastic and paper. Harvested by cutting the green leaves from individual palms, they are then dried and stripped of their inner core. This results in long strings of raffia fibre.

• Raffia is 100% biodegradable and compostable. When disposed of properly, raffia will break down within months.

• These sandals are incredibly comfortable and will become your summer best friend, but the leather may first need to be worn in so it loosens up slightly for a better fit.

Why choose Our Sandals

• The sandal bags are made by Elimu Sewing Project in Kenya which supports young women from vulnerable backgrounds to pursue a 2-year training program which equips them with income-generating skills and a sewing trade.
• Our glass beads are fully recyclable and are coloured using natural dyes.
• Glass beads are a particularly good alternative to plastic beads because when it breaks down, it remains safe and stable and releases no harmful chemicals into the surrounding environment. Glass also takes far less energy to produce and has a long life span.
  
• By rejecting leather we would destroy many jobs for individuals who rely on the leather industry for their livelihood.
• We only use leather byproducts from the meat industry. The leather would otherwise be wasted.
• Additionally, our leather is only coloured using natural dyes. It will last a lifetime and be passed on to future generations. It is the antithesis of fast fashion.
• We run a monthly Beach Clean-Up Campaign in Malindi Kenya where we pledged to pick up a basket of waste for every pair of Kenyan Sandals sold. We sponsor twelve children volunteers, who help with the beach clean, to attend school, enabling them to get the education they had previously been unable to afford.
