Founded in Sydney Australia, and creatively led by Akudo (Amy) Iheakanwathe, the global shoe label proves that great style can also be empowering. Shekudo employs at least 80% female artisans who work with recycled and locally-sourced materials to meticulously craft the label’s signature pairs. Marrying elements of traditional African heritage with distinctively modern silhouettes, Shekudo’s strappy heeled sandals, leather slides and woven flats deserve a spot in your shoe lineup.
