Ladies leather sandal braided

These sandals go with almost any summer outfit - casual or dressy. For this, Allan K processes durable and long-lasting buffalo leather with a soft, warm feel into an airy, light leather weave. The filigree ankle straps emphasize the elegance and give the shoe a better hold. Each sandal is lovingly handcrafted, making each piece unique. The padded, leather cover sole ensures a high wearing comfort. The outsole is also made of leather. For a better grip, the leather built heel is covered with a rubber patch.

Belgian label Allan K is considered a specialist in bags and shoes made of hand-braided leather. Founder Alain Kadic sums up the passion for his company and the products in one sentence: "Braided leather is in my DNA." No wonder, since the company's genesis dates back to the 1960s, when his father Ivan Kadic, an engineer with an inventive spirit, developed a spiral cutter capable of cutting a narrow strip hundreds of feet long from a leather hide. Many of his inventions, including an automatic leather weaving machine, soon find their way around the world.

In the 1980s, Alain Kadic, now an engineer himself, followed in his father's footsteps and traced the machines to India. Here, the craft of leather weaving has a long tradition. After working with various leather weaving companies for several years, he finally founded the Allan K brand in 2012 and from then on had his designs manufactured in Madras. The timeless-classic shoes and bags made of woven and braided leather are handmade there, which can take up to five days depending on the model. The leather for them is still cut on the machines that his father developed at the time.
