The Mali Camping Boot is inspired by Bogolan fabric originating from Mali in the Segou Region of West Africa. The Mud Cloth art, as it is called (because the cotton fabrics are traditionally dyed with fermented mud), is full of intricate patterns and designs of zig zags, stripes, diamonds, and triangles on a monotone color pallet of browns, blacks, and tans. This unique pattern perfectly complements the classic tan suede boot.
As a company, Inkkas is founded on the principles of fair trade and global philanthropy. Our products are crafted with respect for the environment and the people who make them. As a part of the OneShoeOneTree project and in partnership with Trees For The Future, Inkkas plants one tree for every shoe purchase. Inkkas is helping reforest the world and develop sustainable agricultural infrastructure for communities around the globe. Our goal is to leave this world better than we found it.
We are inspired by life’s journeys, wherever they take us. It is our dream to create beautiful, unique, handcrafted footwear that reflects the beauty of this world—the life and nature that inhabit it, and the art and culture that celebrate it. The result is that each pair of Inkkas shoes has a story worth sharing. Join us as we build a global community of adventurers and travelers.
