These shoes are produced locally here in Nairobi by a small company called Tropical Muse. Whilst the owner doesn't have a website - she does have plenty of smart and snappy designs!
I truly believe she will be picked up and be a bustling success soon.
Of course she had plenty of options for women:
These ankle boots are ROCKSTAR. As you can see she has designed are shoes using what I would call
lapa cloth: Images of lapa cloth .
The designer, Tina Masese, uses newly made soles, produced here in Nairobi. The construction is handmade, well made, and extremely durable. These shoes are even washable!
The shoes are competitively priced at almost $50 US. Not bad for a hand-made, original design shoe!
Ms. Masese's shop also does made to order shoes! So if you don't see what you like - you need to ask!
Dreams do come true and I look forward to wearing my new pair of Tropical Muse slippers!
