 Inspired by

 Bamboo, traditional Shipibo fabric and huayruro seeds from

the Amazon jungle inspired the creation of the eco sandals
 Bamboo is a noble material that enables us to remain in
contact with nature as we take each and every step in life
 It is believed that the Shipibo tribe’s inspiration comes from
their dreams or visions and that they incorporate them in
fabrics and crockery to preserve their origins for future
generations
 The huayruro seed is a very strong good-luck symbol and
has an everlasting bright-red color
