These artisans use multiple preliminary maquettes throughout the creative process to create this octopus that we're proud of.

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.
