Some stories come full circle.
My love for sandals actually started years ago, when I first began working with handmade Maasai sandals from Kenya. Along the way, my business grew into TribalTess, an online store where I explored and sold a mix of beautiful African products.
But somehow, I always found myself coming back to sandals.
Maybe it is because I genuinely love wearing them. 😂 Or maybe it is because I have always been drawn to the colours, beadwork and craftsmanship that make each pair so unique.
Eventually, I decided to return to what had always felt most natural to me: sandals.
And that is how Enkai Sandals was born.
Enkai is focused on one thing: beautiful, handmade Maasai sandals from Kenya.
Each pair is handcrafted in Kenya using genuine leather and colourful beadwork. The designs are inspired by the beauty and creativity of Kenyan craftsmanship, while being made for everyday life, wherever in the world you are.
What makes handmade sandals special to me is knowing that behind every pair is a person who has taken the time to create something with their hands. No two pairs feel quite the same, and that is part of their beauty.
Through Enkai, I want to take this craftsmanship beyond souvenir shops and introduce it to people who simply love beautiful, well-made and distinctive sandals.
Every order is carefully prepared in Kenya and shipped directly to you, wherever you are in the world.
Thank you for being here, supporting handmade craftsmanship from Kenya, and helping me share a little piece of Kenya with the world, one pair of sandals at a time.
With love,
Mercy
