Africanas is a social entrepreneurial project with the aim of creating a bridge between Africa and the Western world by selling totally handmade shoes, created by Arnold and his brothers, our artisans in South Africa. It all came together during a trip to Cape Town when Paul, the creator of the project, met Arnold and was simply impressed by his talent to create a wonderful world of shoes, light-years away from the dynamics of production to which we are accustomed in our society. Arnold and his brothers are extremely excited to start this new adventure. Not only because they will do what they love but also because they know this could lead to a fundamental change in their lives. Our hope is to give them this chance and to let everybody enjoy their beautiful shoes! Are you interested in supporting our project? Our three models: Cognac, Ocean and Black Soul. They are our real flagships. Take a look at them in the photo-shooting presented in our Facebook page. Once you have chosen your model, simply send us an inbox message letting us know your shoe size. You will receive an email confirmation with three attachments. They will help you to find out the anatomical shape of your footprint. After that send us a message indicating the right size. At this point you can proceed with the purchase and wait for Arnold and his brothers to create your unique Africanas! BE PART OF IT!

We all put in so much hard work, sometimes we wonder who we’re doing all this for. It’s good to reward ourselves with some off time, some time at the beach. Reconnect with nature, our inner selves and regenerate the energies we need to go back out and follow our visions. #summertime #beach #espadrilles #handmade #sustainablefashion #africa #shoes #relax #hollydays #capetown (at Muizenberg Beach)

Going somewhere? Our #Africanas fit into all luggages and take very little weight/space. You’ll be amazed how far they get you though... @todarock has been once around the world with them! #globetrotter #espadrilles #sustainablefashion #summertime #fashion #shoes #handmade #see #hollydays (at Grand Cayman, Caribbean Islands)

The shoemakers at Africanas always say: ‘nothing’s more rewarding that knowing that our shoes go everywhere in the world, that we export our labour and culture to places we would have never imagined’ #espadrilles #travelling #globetrotter #sustainablefashion #africa #shoes #africanas (at Tokyo, Japan)
