Sseko Sandals: Fashion with a Great Cause

Let me start off by saying Sseko sandals are AWESOME! I ran across them at Mardel and before then, had never heard of such an item. They are so versatile and fun, I cannot imagine ever needing another pair of sandals again (believe it or not lol).

Sseko’s are a flat leather sandal sole that has little preset hoops in-laced a the toe, front and back. That sounds silly until you see they have long fabric ties that you can use to interlace the sandals and create a design, so to speak.  The sandal ties come in a variety of colors and fabrics that can be used interchangeably. Not only that, they show you a variety of ways these can be tied to make the sandals look different. I got mine yesterday and already learned how to tie them 3 different ways.

The best and probably most favorite thing about the Sseko’s is that their basis for existence is to help the women in Uganda get a college education so they can go on to lead productive lives within their community. They provide employment and scholarships that match 100% of the savings the women put away to use toward school. This in turn helps eliminate poverty and provides a future for these ladies.

This was such an awesome product I just had to talk about it. Check out the website below to read more about them and if you are interested your local Mardel is carrying them. I know I love mine. Check me out below :D
