Leather Sandals

Kenya’s artisanal leather industry produces durable sandals, belts, wallets, and handbags, especially around Athi River tanneries and Nairobi’s Kariokor market. These products are made by skilled craftsmen who cut, shape, and stitch high-quality cowhide, sometimes decorated with beads or embossed patterns. Many workshops focus on sustainable practices, upcycling leather off-cuts and offering training programs to local youth. These products are popular in tourist markets and boutique fashion stores.
