The Lamu Mule is an effortless and essential shoe to anyone’s wardrobe. Handmade by our Maker Mums in Maai Mahiu, Kenya, these suede mules are great for strolling & exploring new cities, slipping into while heading to the farmer’s market & off to morning yoga. Easy to wear from season to season, these will become your go-to shoes every day.

We have named our new Lamu Mule after Lamu Island - part of an archipelago just off the east coast of Kenya. This idyllic roadless island, full of narrow cobblestone alleyways and footpaths, old forts and elegant rooftop cafes, inspired us to create this effortless shoe. Not only is it one of our favorite places to relax, it is also the perfect place to stroll and explore in a pair of our new Lamu Mules.

Care instructions:

To spot treat, wet the Wash & Stain Bar and gently work into the stained area(s). Remove soap and dirt with a wet Lint-Free Cleaning Cloth—be sure to remove all soap. Dampen the cloth as needed, and repeat the process until satisfied.

If necessary, gently wipe your print with a soft cloth that has been slightly dampened with water. Never use chemicals to clean your print. When doing so ensure that all leather parts are carefully protected from water.
