Origins in the Grain. > Survival by Design.

We don’t just knit; we document. Each pair is a high-performance specimen, designed to capture the essence of Africa’s most private species while equipping the boots-on-the-ground guardians. In a world of the mass-produced, we choose the rare.

Our editions are categorised by the urgency of the preservation effort:

🟡 Yellow: Vulnerable species (A steady, watchful eye is required.)

🟠 Orange: Endangered species ( Immediate engagement is the standard.

🔴 Red: Critically endangered species (The ultimate rescue mission)

Where Your Toes Do the Work.

Identity, amplified.

Nature doesn't hide. Neither should you.

Our shells are more than accessories; they are tactical gear for the soul—curated for the resilient. By bridging the gap between science and self-expression, we transform a clinical necessity into a bold, personal statement.
