Embrace the pace

Whether you're a proud participant of the minimalist fashion challenge or simply believe in wearing each piece at least 30 times, our ethically made shoes align perfectly with your values. We understand that sustainable fashion is about investing in enduring classics, so you don't have to constantly buy and discard. Akanas not only meet but exceed the standards of slow fashion. We're slightly disappointed that the benchmark is set at just 30 wears because our shoes are crafted to accompany you on countless journeys, season after season. Join us in raising the bar for sustainable fashion and step into a world where quality and longevity redefine the way we dress.

The ethical and sustainable choice

Handpicked for their exceptional skills, our artisans are the heart and soul of our atelier. Housed in the well-lit upper storey of a charming heritage inn, they create magic with their hands while enjoying the comforting aroma of Turkish tea and the rhythmic beats of their favorite radio tunes. As their nimble fingers weave wonders, friendly banter fills the air, adding an extra touch of joy to their creative process. At Akana, we believe in valuing their artistry, which is why our artisans are rewarded with fair wages, recognizing their dedication and talent. Join us in celebrating their craftsmanship and become a part of the lively tapestry that makes Akana shoes truly extraordinary.
