Please note

Each pair is cut and stitched by hand, so small differences in the stitching and in the exact shade of the leather are normal. Screen colours vary. The photograph shows the red pair, which is out of stock at the moment, and the black, white and brown are not photographed. The maker's material note also mentions beads, and the pair photographed carries polished stones rather than beadwork, so please ask first if beading matters to you.

Cultural context & artisan story

Alpha Threads Fashions works in Nairobi, Kenya, where flat leather sandals are cut, stitched and finished by hand in small workshops rather than moulded in a factory. The connection here is the maker and the handwork rather than any one traditional pattern, and that is worth saying plainly. The tiger's eye deserves a line of its own. It is a banded quartz, and South Africa is the largest source of it in the world, so the stone has African roots as well as the leather. The maker has not said where these particular stones were cut, so that is as far as it goes.

Product description

Overview

Flat leather toe post sandals with a polished tiger's eye stone set on the wide instep band and a matching stone at the toe, handmade in Kenya. The stone is the point of them. Tiger's eye is a banded quartz that shifts between gold and deep brown as the light moves across it, so a plain flat sandal picks up a glint with every step. One stone sits in a dark mount at the centre of the instep band, a second sits on the toe tab, and both band edges carry a fine punched border. The pair photographed is the red colourway and red is out of stock at the moment. Black, white and brown are the colours the maker holds, and none of them is photographed, so if the shade matters to you it is worth asking before you order. They are cut flat with no heel, which makes them a warm weather and holiday sandal rather than a walking one. Sizes run UK 3 to UK 8. Leather gives a little across the strap as you wear it, so take the smaller size if you are between two. Wipe the leather with a dry cloth, keep them out of standing water, and let them dry away from direct heat if they do get wet.
