Kintsugi, or Kintsukuroi, is the centuries-old Japanese art of fixing broken pottery and translates to “golden joinery.” The golden seams celebrate what would be considered imperfections — a philosophy that beauty is not diminished by history, but deepened by it. These sandals are a wearable meditation on that truth: the metallic foil kangaroo leather lacing traces the foot like gilded seams across repaired porcelain, transforming each step into an act of quiet artistry. To wear Kintsugi is to carry a piece of that ancient wisdom — that what has been mended is more beautiful for having been broken. Our sandals use 3mm gold foil kangaroo leather lacing (one of the strongest leathers in the world) to create the effect of golden seams across the fore and mid foot. 1.5m of the same lacing wraps around the ankle to secure your foot into the sandal. -Slight heel (measures approximately 20mm/2cm) - Due to the handmade nature of the product, slight variations in leather & colour may occur - Slip on -Handmade in Australia Material: Vegetable tanned kangaroo leather upper & bovine leather sole. The natural tanning process means the colour will become richer with age. Natural lactae hevea stopper on sole to ensure grip.
