Are you a ‘let’s grab a lekker coffee and get going’ kinda person? South African mornings burst with sunshine, so let’s goooooo! Crafted with genuine leather and adorned with the iconic South African Shweshwe fabric, each pair of our ‘Early Riser’ Vellies will get your day off to a beautiful start.
Did you know? Authentic Shweshwe fabric is exclusively made in South Africa, traditionally used for crafting exquisite garments for weddings and special occasions. At Village Secrets, we’ve infused this cultural gem into our handcrafted shoes, allowing you to celebrate every day with a touch of South African elegance.
Our commitment to quality is unwavering. Each pair of shoes is meticulously crafted from scratch, without using pre-existing shoe covers. We ensure that even the Shweshwe fabric is backed by genuine leather, providing comfort and durability with every step.
Supporting local craftsmanship is at the core of our ethos. Our dedicated cobbler operates his own micro-factory, employing skilled artisans from the community. By sourcing off-cut leather from a local township furniture covering business, we contribute to a sustainable and thriving local economy.
Available in sizes 3 – 9, Village Secrets Shoes invite you to experience the authentic spirit of South Africa with every stride. So, why just walk when you can dance to the rhythm of our culture?
