Halloween Boo Ghost Purple and Orange Squares Espadrilles

Designer Tip: Due to the unique challenge of designing for handmade shoes, designing for this product is limited. Please check this link if you think your artwork would qualify for this product.

We're excited to introduce the first Afridrille! A one-of-a-kind slip-on shoe that's perfect for doing good and feeling good.

It’s been affectionately named Afridrille because it's inspired by the Spanish espadrille style, but it’s 100% made in Africa. The shoe retains the look and feel of the espadrille while weaving in the local African flair through unique custom designs, indigenous African patterns, and the kanga fabric (a colorful triangle garment worn throughout East Africa).

The Afridrille is fully customizable. Each customer can create a unique shoe that fits their own personal style by selecting the color of the canvas, the style, and color of print, and the inner kanga lining.

The Afridrille run a bit narrow. Order your regular shoe size if you plan to wear your Afridrilles without socks, or size up a 1/2 size to wear the Afridrille with socks. Wide sizes are not available, customers who have medium to wide feet should order a half-size up.

UBUNTU is an African philosophy of unity: ‘I Am Because We Are.’ UBUNTU is also an organization that embodies this principle and believes the products we buy should connect us to the people who make them. Each Afridrille is handmade by UBUNTU Mums in Maai Mahiu, Kenya.

UBUNTU gives back to health and education programs in Kenya, creating jobs and providing impact in communities on the other side of the world. The UBUNTU model creates a new cycle of livelihood between social business and non-profit growth. The earned and charitable income from UBUNTU Enterprise feeds directly into the well-being of Zazzle’s social impact initiatives.
