This intricate piece from the Saajha - India X Nigeria collection, embody the spirit of global collaboration and craftsmanship.

This sandal is made of natural materials, water hyacinth and sheep leather, giving you a super comfortable feel. The motifs, at the center of the design, are inspired by underwater living organisms, stitched by Nigerian artisans. These motifs are further adorned with delicate beadwork by the artisans of Kaarigar Mandi, creating a harmonious blend of traditions from two different cultures.

These sandals are more than just footwear; they are a celebration of the rich, traditional crafts of both India and Nigeria. Crafted by the women artisans of the two communities, they celebrate global sisterhood, symbolizing the unity and harmony achieved through this unique collaboration.

ABOUT THE COLLECTION:

SAAJHA - INDIA X NIGERIA is a limited edition collection born from the collaboration between us (Kaarigar Mandi) and Mitimeth, a Nigerian brand. 

'Saajha' means 'Shared,' symbolizing the collaboration and mutual respect that form the foundation of this collection. This unique footwear line is crafted with shared values of sustainability, inclusion, and innovation.

At Mitimeth, Nigerian women artisans transform the invasive water hyacinth plant into a durable and attractive material through their intricate weaving skills. Kaarigar Mandi's artisans then design and craft these sandals using this special material, paired with ultra-soft sheep leather, to create the one-of-a-kind SAAJHA - INDIA X NIGERIA collection.
