Looking to make a statement with your little one’s shoes? Brother Vellies has the answer. Showcasing traditional African footwear, while also creating and sustaining artisan jobs, these handmade beauties help support ethical production in South Africa, Ethiopia, Kenya and Morocco. Most of the leather used at Brother Vellies is from kudu, an animal that is currently overpopulated and under government issued culling in order to protect fragile ecosystems. The meat is sold in local markets, or donated to those in need, and the leathers are used to make adult shoes with the scraps going to make absolutely unique children’s shoes.
