Finding little boys shoes that are both classic, hard-wearing but aesthetically pleasing is a never ending challenge so we were very pleased when we discovered these super cute suede moccasins that are handmade in Ethiopia using both locally produced leather and recycled car tyres. We found out about Arambha (the company that sells them) from an old colleague at Vogue whose sister, Ethiopia-based Georgie Jones, founded her company to use local skills to make Fairtrade clothes, shoes and accessories. The site also sells handwoven cotton dresses and skirts for little girls as well as beautiful striped cotton scarves and beach ponchos. Only some pieces are sold online but Arambha is holding a sale next Tuesday in Fulham. The sale will be on from 10am until 8pm at 49 Linver Road with all Arambha’s clothes and accessories on offer – the perfect pit stop to pick up some last minute holiday must-haves.
