London, May 6, 2025 — laidback london, a London-based fashion brand rooted in tradition and slow fashion, proudly announces the launch of its newest collection: Handmade leather sandals for women. Each pair blends centuries-old craftsmanship with modern design, creating a truly unique footwear experience.

Handmade by skilled fundi wa viatu—Swahili for shoe artisans—each sandal is cut, dyed, and beaded entirely by hand. Using traditional techniques passed down through generations, these artisans create leather footwear that speaks of authenticity and artistry. With every stitch and bead, the brand honors the heritage of Kenyan craftsmanship.

No two pairs are alike. The natural leather, hand-dyeing process, and detailed beading ensure that every sandal carries its own charm and character. Whether you’re looking for an everyday staple or a stylish statement, the collection offers an elegant fusion of comfort, culture, and contemporary appeal.

The ‘Crey LP Light Brown Metal Gold/White’ stands out with its subtle shimmer and cushioned footbed. These sandals pair effortlessly with summer dresses, wide-leg trousers, or weekend denim, making them versatile for any occasion.

Timeless Flats

Simplicity meets sophistication in the flat sandal line. The ‘Kilifi Flat Leather Sandal Neon Pink/Silver’ combines breathable materials with lightweight flexibility.
