Kenkiks was born out of the desire to provide quality shoes by utilising recycled and surplus materials. My interest in history and culture can be seen in the collection. Sometimes, the glory of days past inspires my designs - other times, the material itself inspires me.
I make my choices based on how environmentally friendly and ethical they are. The fabrics I use may have functioned, for example, as coats, tablecloths or upholstery fabrics. The soles, heels, and other components are surplus material from other shoe manufacturers. And because the materials are limited, almost every pair is unique.
In addition to shoes, I make jewellery and other accessories using recycled materials. I also make and repair film and theatre props.
