Press Release – Kitu Kali are proud to announce that on 8th of November 2018, we will be officially launching our Kickstarter campaign. Kitu Kali have a truly African born product and it’s the people involved in the process that make Kitu Kali shoes special. Each skilled artisan from Kibera plays a part in the creation of our shoes. Sourcing traditional fabrics that are inspired from all over Africa. Recycling Kenyan materials for lining and carefully crafting each fashionably unique shoe from scratch. Kitu Kali’s designs are produced in limited batches due to the availability of our fabrics, ensuring that the shoes are always fresh. “Everyone gazes at my shoes or stops to ask me where I got my shoes from” says Co-founder Amal Nathwani.
Kitu Kali supports our local community, celebrates African culture and opposes the fast fashion culture. “Each pair is made here in Kibera and every pair you purchase empowers the talented craftsmen, the family and the entire community.” Julie Munyi, Co-founder of Kitu Kali. She goes on to say, “there is a lot of hardship here in Kibera Slums and a lot of talent”.
