You Khanga's Shoes & Slippers

Browse through Italian label You Khanga's Spring/Summer 14 Collection, featuring bright slippers and pumps.

You Khanga's Shoes & Slippers

Italian label You Khanga was born out of designers Veruscha Rossi and Benedetta Ceppi's different travels and shared love for Malindi, Kenya. Their footwear designs blend two distant influences, East African life and Italian style, to provide a wide-ranging collection of pumps and slippers. These one-of-a-kind pieces are crafted from Kenyan khanga materials and later manufactured in Italy — no pair is identical. Browse our gallery above to view the collection and if you want to talk about it, tweet @okayafrica with #youkhanga.
