Sseko \say-ko\ Designs was created to help the bright young women of war-torn Uganda continue their education. The Ugandan school system is designed with a nine month gap between secondary school and university. These nine months are intended to allow time for students to earn money for tuition before continuing on to university. However, in an impoverished and male dominated society, many of these young women struggle to find fair work during this time.
Sseko Designs hires recent secondary school graduates for this nine month period to live and work together, while earning money that will go directly towards their university education. These women will not make sandals forever. They will go on to be doctors, lawyers, politicians, writers and teachers that will bring change and unification to a country divided and ravished by a 22 year-long war.
We’re loving these handmade sandals for their philanthropic statement as much as for their customizability! Only $40/42 (depending on solid or patterns) these sandals are cute and affordable AND support an AMAZING cause!
Choose whether you prefer a Solid Strap or a Patterned Strap (limited availability) or don’t choose at all and get solid and patterned straps! Each additional solid strap is $7 and patterns are $9.
You can literally change your entire shoe in five minutes for less than $10!
Currently available in 5 different solid colors and a constantly rotating selection of Ugandan-market sourced patterned fabrics, these make a perfect gift for someone you love this Spring!
Don’t even limit yourself to the way you wear them! Sseko Designs are completely customizable—braid two colors or a color and a pattern together or go crazy and create a woven design on your feet. It’s up to you.

We can’t decide which is our favorite but these bright orange suede sandals are at the top of the list. One of our top colors for Spring, orange is definitely a must-have this season and always shows off and enhances a tan!
Gypsy - $95.00
Sizes 6.5-10 available
Platforms and wedges are the shoe of the season (as long as you don’t count out strappy flats too) and Seychelles does not disappoint with Hullabaloo, a strappy jeweled wedge with faux-wood heel.
Hullabaloo - $100.00
Sizes 6-10 available
Love the style but not the heel? Check out Blast below!
Cute, strappy and in bright coral or black and at only $50, Oh Sailor is not going to last long! Pair these flats with a pair of cropped or cuffed/rolled skinnies or a full skirt or dress and you’re off! All Seychelles and BC shoes have a great padded insole that makes long strolls around downtown a breeze.
Oh Sailor - $50.00
Sizes 6-10 available
No surprise here, we love them. Not just love them, we LOVE them. Nude is one of our favorite trends for spring and these shoes take full advantage of nude leather and contrast it with a bright turquoise suede in a strappy geometric design. These structured, but airy sandals are definitely a statement we’re going to be making loud and clear this Spring!!
Surprise Ending - $95.00
Sizes 6.5-10 available
Love these nude peeptoe pumps with the subtle metallic cage design on them! Shimmering in the sunlight and perfect to pair with any color, this sexy silhouette will top off every outfit.
Wild Card - $90.00
Hullabaloo’s little sister, Blast is a perfect compliment to any outfit and great for women of all ages! Black leather straps and a gold/bronze metallic trim & sole make them perfect with any color and dressy enough for a dress but subtle enough for everyday wear.
Blast - $80.00
Sizes 6-10 available
