Pikolinos: beads for your feet

Pikolinos is a Spanish shoe company that prides itself on high-quality, handcrafted leather footwear.

What we love about them is their Maasai Project, a line of exquisite, beaded sandals designed and crafted by women from Maasai communities in Kenya and Tanzania.

Elephant Gin, anyone?

There are so many of us in the world that readily confess to a deep love for gin and tonic. What if one could harness this collective passion, the world over, and turn it into something good? Robin Gerlach and Tessa Wienker travelled through Africa in 2011 and had exactly this thought.

“Why is it you can never hope to describe the emotion Africa creates? You are lifted. Out of whatever pit, unbound from whatever tie, released from whatever fear. You are lifted and you see it all from above.”
