Thumbi Leather - Premium Artisan Footwear from Kenya

About the Fundi

Thumbi at work

"Crafted with love, guided by Jah."

The Thumbi Story

Born and raised in Nairobi's vibrant streets, Thumbi discovered his passion for leatherwork at an early age. What began as a necessity—repairing his own shoes—blossomed into a lifelong craft.

Inspired by Rastafarian values of self-reliance and natural living, Thumbi combines traditional Kenyan techniques with contemporary design to create footwear that tells a story.

Each piece is handcrafted using ethically sourced leather and natural materials, ensuring durability that stands the test of time while honoring our earth.
