For 3.5 billion people living below the poverty line, the flip flop remains the most affordable form of footwear. And as a result, most of them end up in the ocean.
Each year Ocean Sole aims to upcycle 1 million+ flip flops found washed up across the Kenyan beaches which our local artisans then turn into art.
