Brother Vellies
Burkina Slide Field Stripe
FINAL SALE
Brother Vellies Burkina slides in Field stripe are topped with floppy, adjustable bows in handwoven green, orange and white fabric from Burkina Faso.
The Burkina slides feature upper fabric handwoven in Burkina Faso in local patterns by a marginalized community of female weavers, and are finished in Ethiopia with a lightweight, vegetable-tanned, handmade leather lining and sole.
Using ancestral techniques passed down through generations, Brother Vellies are handcrafted in South Africa, Kenya and Namibia, sustaining artisanal jobs in Africa and sharing traditional African dress with the global community.
They use eco-conscious chrome-free leather and animal bi-product hides. Vegetable-tanned leather changes in color with age and wear and is to be expected. Consistency in color and volume will vary from pair to pair. Because of this, no two pairs will ever be identical, and each pair has its own personality, making it yours and yours alone.
