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.
