We here at The Fashionable Housewife love to see fashion helping to raise people up, helping to make a difference in the lives of people in need. (See most recent article on Sseko Designs) So you can imagine how we felt when we were offered the opportunity to help promote FitFlop and Net-A-Porter.com’s new pairing, the Manyano Sandal.
โAt FitFlop, we believe fashion has the ability to unite women across the world.ย We are extremely proud to support Wola Nani and help HIV sufferers to take control of their lives with confidence, dignity and hope.โ -Marcia Kilgore, Founder of FitFlop Footwear
Hand-beaded by the women of the Wola Nani cooperative in Cape Town, South Africa, the FitFlop MANYANO thong sandal is crafted in luxurious natural leather and has FitFlopโs phenomenal Microwobbleboard midsole built-in.ย FitFlop will be donating 100% of its net profit from sales back to the Wola Nani organization in an effort to give help and inspire hope through creativity and industry.
