African Baule Cloth Bag
Regular price $195.00Our African Baule Cloth Bags are a thing of beauty. Inspired by Creative Director Amal Wilemon's love for African textiles, we stitch each bag from no less than ten different hand-dyed Baule Cloths from Côte D’Ivoire.
Hand-stitched in our Maker Studio located in Maai Mahiu, Kenya, each bag is unique and one of a kind. What's more, your bag is eternally connected to other bags made with parts of the same Baule Cloth. What we love about this is that this bag connects each of its owners to what it means to #liveubuntu, a manifestation of the interconnected nature of our shared humanity, each woven to the other, living boldly and beautifully into the world!
Chunky Cuff Duo
Regular price $90.00 Sale price $63.00 Save $27.00Due to popular demand, this item is available for PRE-ORDER and will ship on 11/19.
The latest addition to our jewelry metal collection, the Chunky Cuff Duo is born from our lifelong affinity for stacking and layering our bangles, bracelets, and cuffs. We set out to design the perfect addition to any collection — a cuff set that can be both bold and refined. The beauty is that these cuffs can be worn together or individually. You decide! They are incredibly versatile, making them a timeless and essential part of any jewelry collection.
Handmade by artisans in KenyaMaterial: Hand cast recycled brassClear coating finishing Sizing: (S/M) - 45mm (h) x 55mm (w) with an 27mm openingCare: To keep your bracelet looking shiny, we recommend a gentle metal polisher for occasionally cleaning and a soft cloth to remove tarnish. To better preserve the bracelet, we recommend to not wear them in water. Jutta D.I love the Chunky Cuff duo very much. Unfortunately it is too small for my arm. Due to the delivery costs, I cannot return it. I will probably give it away to one in my family and friends community, who will love it, like I do.You should think about an online shop in Europe :-) Thanks a lot, you have beautiful things. Marie T.I love love ❤️ these open cuffs. They are so well made. The beauty and quality exceeds my expectations. They look like real gold. Gorgeous.!Lamu Mule - Sand

We have named our new Lamu Mule after Lamu Island - part of an archipelago just off the east coast of Kenya. This idyllic roadless island, full of narrow cobblestone alleyways and footpaths, old forts, and elegant rooftop cafes, inspired us to create this effortless shoe. Not only is it one of our favorite places to relax, it is also the perfect place to stroll and explore in a pair of our new Lamu Mules.

Not available in wide sizes. The material will stretch mold to your foot over time.Please note W is for Women's and M is for Men's when reviewing our sizing!

Howcrio B.Great looking slip on that are surprisingly comfortable for someone with flat feet. I was concerned about reviews that mentioned the slip-on being too tight, however leather stretches. After stretching for a couple of days, they fit perfectly. Would definitely grab another pair once they have my size.monica b.Love everything about them, color, quality, comfort. They’re beautiful. Marie T.I LOVE LOVE these shoes, they are very comfortable. Size is as it says, I am a size 6 bought a size 6 it was perfect.The color matches with everything. I Would buy them again.Mandy A.Great customer service! I love my mules, beautiful natural color!Giuseppe G.The best shoes for everything. Pool, casual, jeans, etc. quality is awesome. I love them. I’m on my 4th pair. Buy a size up from your normal size. I’m a 10m. I bought a 11m. 11m fits perfect. Michael T.Horrible service. Ordered 2 day shipping , received ordee 10 business days after. Was told out of control once leaves warehouse and I should contact FedEx. I’m the customer! Also own a small business have never said that.Richard D.So comfortable and made with love!!Theresa D.Love these Mules!! Love the color Love the fit!!Giuseppe G.I love them. I’m a 9.5 men’s. I ordered a 10 men’s. A little small. I recommend you Order one size up. Overall the quality is amazing. I ordered another pair Michael C.I’m a solid 11.5 and bought the 12 size. Fits very snug and depending on how you like your slippers they could be too small. Fortunately I love the tighter fit and I’m sure they will stretch to perfectly fit my foot. I was looking for an outdoor slipper to wear around the house and outside when needed. Couldn’t have been happier with this purchase. Love the color too!Christopher R.These are so comfortable that I bought a second pair. I purchased true to size (I am a men’s 12). First time you put them on you think it is too small. It quickly stretches out and feels great. Ty C.Love this luma mules , wear them all the time ,my favorite shoes 10 stars Helen C.I love the shoes. They are a little small to size though. The shoes are well made and I will enjoy wearing them even though they are a bit too small for my feet- and I ordered a half size too big. Or, it could be my feet have grown. Brian J.Really like the look and feel of this shoe but it ran a half size small for me. Customer service was good arranging the return/exchange. christine b. Very cute mules Christopher M.Was so looking forward to these.. but sadly they are not narrow.. beside that, they are beautifully made.Neil O.SO comfortable!
