Aspiga is a luxury brand specialising in hand beaded products. Aspiga sells a range of beautiful holiday essentials including hand beaded accessories and clothing. The brand was founded in 2006 after founder Lucy Macnamara fell in love with Kenya and their beautiful sandals. The sandals designed by the brand are stunning and unique, the ideal footwear to wear day or night.
The beautifully crafted products Aspiga sells are not the only thing which makes purchasing items from Aspiga so alluring. The brand helps the fight against poverty through trade not aid. It focuses on sustainable luxury and ensures that those making its products are paid fairly and not under the minimum working wage. The company also donates a percentage of it’s profits going to a children’s orphanage in Nairobi.
