Custom Made Embroidered, Applique Multi-Beaded and Shell-Embellished Birkenstocks
Step into a world where art, sustainability, and self-expression collide.
Each pair of these Custom Made Embroidered Milano Sandals is a wearable masterpiece, bold, soulful, and unlike anything you’ve ever owned. Handcrafted with devotion and imagination, this design reimagines the classic Birkenstock Milano silhouette through the lens of African-inspired artistry and conscious luxury.
Feminine yet fierce, elegant yet grounded, these sandals are an ode to creativity that blooms endlessly. Adorned with a mosaic of repurposed treasures, vintage jewellery, crystals, gemstones, cowrie shells, brass chains, and intricate glass bead embroidery, each pair tells its own story of transformation and renewal.
Every detail is intentionally crafted. Upcycled striped cotton shirts and mixed textiles are reimagined through free-motion machine stitching and hand embroidery appliqué, forming a richly painted, floral-textured surface that feels alive, vibrant, tactile, and deeply expressive.
More than sandals, they are a statement: of beauty, sustainability, and self-awareness. Designed for comfort and functionality, the classic double foot straps and supportive ankle strap each with adjustable metal pin buckles, ensure the perfect fit. The anatomically shaped cork-latex footbed and cushioned EVA sole cradle the feet with every step, blending artisanal elegance with Birkenstock’s signature comfort.
This one-of-a-kind pair adapts beautifully to every season. Bask in the warmth of summer or pair them with socks during cooler months for that effortless wanderlust, boho-luxe aesthetic. (Yes, socks and sandals are still cool, and these make it undeniable.)
Infused with time, care, and artistry, this pair is more than footwear it’s a sensory journey, a celebration of identity, and a step toward sustainable beauty.
