Senegal sandal makers perfect a century-old tradition

Shoe makers in northern Senegal turn leather from sheep, cows and goats into luxury sandals and sell them throughout French-speaking West Africa.
It's a tradition that stretches back for hundreds of years.

Someone should set up a go-fund me campaign so that these guys can set up a proper factory closer to the capital center and establish a website so that they can export those shoes abroad and build a real brand.

Its a shame to see such great craftsmanship and entrepreneurial spirit go to waste because their government is incapable for running the country properly enough for people & businesses to thrive.

These are beautiful. How can we buy these shoes direct?

I'd wear a pair for work in fairness, they're not sandals I was expecting.

Wow, they're so good people are making knockoffs? Cool. ✨
