Product Insights & Style Tips

AMANU The Kigali Leather Sandals carry a bare, elegant, and sexy mood, a testament to Anita Patrickson's Africa-inflected, earth-conscious craft. Handmade with minimum excess waste, each pair is made to measure in AMANU's Kenya studio, using Florence-sourced leather that is painted by hand and vegetable-dyed. The gold-toned toe detail and a front cross ankle strap elevate the simplicity with a touch of glamour.

Made to measure, the sandal sits close to the skin with a clean, airy feel. The cross-ankle strap anchors the silhouette, while the hand-painted leather and natural dyes keep the look refined rather than fussy. It layers beautifully with everything from linen dresses to denim, transitioning from day to evening with ease.

AMANU's approach blends ethical materials and true craftsmanship—Florence leather, by-product hides, and hand painting—into a sandal that feels modern and grounded. It nods to Anita Patrickson's Africa-inflected aesthetic while staying versatile enough for city wear.

Recommended Care

  • Wipe clean with a soft damp cloth; avoid harsh detergents or soaking leather.
  • Do not machine wash or submerge; air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
  • Store in a dust bag with toe and heel intact; use tissue or shoe trees to help maintain shape.
  • Avoid rubbing or scrubbing hand-painted areas to preserve color and finish; if needed, spot clean gently around painted sections.
  • Condition leather periodically with a product suitable for vegetable-dyed leather; test on a small area first.
  • Avoid contact with water and oils; if moisture exposure occurs, blot and air dry promptly.
