Bliss in the colors of Africa
A story of subtle luxury in our everyday lives.
A high-quality life in silence
The moment you open the front door, your eyes will be drawn to the sophisticated African print. Its bold yet elegant colors will gently touch the hearts of all who visit.
However, the true luxury of these slippers lies beyond that.
The moment you step inside, you will be enveloped in an astonishing silence. You can quietly watch over your children engrossed in their piano lessons, or your husband looking worried when he comes home late at night. The ordinary moments of your daily life will become special memories etched in your heart.
77 years of experience, the ultimate in comfort
We partnered with Tokyo Sangyo Co., Ltd., a long-established manufacturer in downtown Tokyo that was founded 77 years ago, to produce these slippers. This long-established manufacturer strives for the ideal balance of materials and shape. Carefully selected felt and an insole with exquisite elasticity minimize stress on the feet, ensuring comfortable wear even after extended periods. The shape, which cannot be replicated by mass-produced products, gently touches the instep. The consistent comfort even after three years of continuous use is attested to by numerous loyal users.
Product Features
1. Highest quality felt soles <br/>The felt has just the right amount of wool to prevent it from becoming too stiff, achieving a high level of balance between comfort and durability. It also has a non-slip heel area for a secure fit.
2. "Zelaphite Pro" insole, which is more comfortable than regular leather. <br/>We use Zelaphite Pro, a synthetic leather with better moisture absorption than regular leather, to ensure a comfortable feel, a luxurious feel, and durability. *Ankara cloth insoles are also available.
3. The fan-shaped design is possible because it is handmade.
The shoes are very soft on the instep, so you won't get tired when wearing them.
4. Uses African Ankara Fabric <br/>We use "Ankara," an African fabric sold in impoverished areas of Nigeria. This adds an "ethical" element that helps support the independence of impoverished areas.
Reference: Moisture absorption of the insole "Zelaphite Pro"
It has better moisture absorption than regular leather and the same amount of moisture release, so we believe it is more comfortable than leather slippers.
Makoko area of Lagos, Nigeria
Sustainable choices create connections with the world
Makoko, a floating village in Lagos, Nigeria
Tens of thousands of people live in extreme conditions, without running water.
Residents are forced to live near polluted waters, exposing children in particular to serious health problems and continuing to face difficulties even in accessing clean drinking water.
Many people are still in a precarious position and live each day not knowing when they will lose their homes.
In this environment, local adults run a handmade school.
Efforts to make a living through traditional fishing and handicraft production.
This demonstrates our commitment to protecting educational opportunities for the future of our children.
This product is a new challenge for us that began with an encounter between Makoko's African fabric and the brand creator. It is a project that promotes self-reliance in impoverished areas by dealing directly with Makoko and donating 5% of sales to the African support organization A-GOAL.
