The Continuity of the Yarn Culture.
Category: Footwear
The Braided Sandal has been created from Cow leather, Pure Cotton Yarn and Recycled car tyres for the sole. Looking back into our African culture, in our homes, we have always familiarized ourselves with the hair braiding culture and the use of yarn to create hand-made products and we have seen various hair braiding and crochet styles evolve over the years. Typically, a braid can be as long as you want and the braid pattern on the Sandals symbolizes the continuity of the crochet/use of yarn culture to create hand-made magic. The Braid Sandal is a very aesthetic and functional piece that can be created into a flat sandal, a wedge or a platform and can be customized into a variety of colors. This ascertains the fact that there is a clear continuity in the use of yarn culture when merged with the durability of cow leather. Being a trendsetter in Crochet Footwear continues to show creatives that we can merge leather and yarn to build on sustainable products that can be consumed by a wider market. It’s important for us to actively take part in the continuity of cultures that have the potential to impact communities.
