Vegan, meaning non-leather, is made from various natural raw materials. One such alternative, developed over years, is “pineapple leather” or piñatex, made from the fibers of pineapple leaves.
The TOKU Athens sandals, created by award-winning Estonian fashion designer Piibe Tomp, are inspired by the aesthetics of ancient Greek footwear. Handcrafted in Europe, these sandals feature a closed heel and an adjustable ankle strap for a secure fit. The upper is made from piñatex, while the soft microfiber lining ensures comfort. The durable and flexible outsole is designed for optimal walking comfort. Every pair of TOKU shoes is a masterpiece of a small family-run company in southern Estonia, perfecting their craft since 1927. Following the slow fashion philosophy, they use only natural, high-quality materials to create versatile, long-lasting designs that stand the test of time. The Jury at the Estonian Design Awards has called the TOKU brand the New Estonian Classic.
