The Motherland heel is a Leather sandal with a golden Nefertiti charm on the ankle strap and an Africa-shaped metal heel designed by Funfere Koroye.

Our shoe is a metaphoric beacon of our Motherland – an ode to the cradle of civilization and culture.

Nefertiti means ‘The beautiful woman has come’. She rivals many monarchs as the most famous Queen (c.  1370 – c. 1330 BC) in Ancient Africa and is often the focus of celebrating beauty, feminine strength, power, and devotion.

She features: a 4.5-inch heel, a recycled vegan leather upper, and a Gold Africa heel made from pure steel.
