handstitched. handmade. handcrafted by Tsonga

lingo

This takkie has already earned  a place in my budget.  This is my Valentine! In fact, if baas could give me an advance, I would ask for one.  Available in red, blue and gold. For those that do not know where their factory shop is located (shame), the shoe retails at 699ZAR and is available online from tsonga.com.

The Tsonga range is fine, fine brand. They have satisfied my fetish for hide for a well over a decade and am proud to say are a 100% African initiative. Tsonga does more than sell. They are a livelihood to an entire community of Lidgetton, KwaZulu Natal. You can read up on their story right here. Legit craftsmanship. And has not been made by an 8 year old in that country with over a billion people. That I can guarantee you!

Go ahead. Consume. Ethically:)
