Our master shoemakers crafted this shoe using the finest vegan and sustainable materials. The velvet upper and cotton lining are made with 100% recycled fibers. Our recyclable outsole is made with 10-12% recycled plastic removed from the ocean.

This design is inspired by Indonesian batik fabric. The border pattern is called Parang, meaning cliff, ridge, or slope in Javanese. It is one of the oldest batik patterns and considered awisan dalem, a pattern reserved for the royal family and once forbidden outside the royal courts. The waves symbolize the unceasing spirit to strive for excellence, like waves pounding against the cliffs. The amaryllis featured at the center is symbolic of love, beauty, and determination.

Due to COVID-19 delays, orders will ship after Dec 3rd.

About the Design

We named this design Sumatra because it's dark and wild like Sumatra coffee, but the artwork is based on Javanese batik fabric. When we first arrived to Java, we spent days exploring batik factories and learning about the process. Batik, in short, is a wax-resistant dyeing technique. In the more time intensive method, the artisan draws a design by hand, then retraces the pattern with wax. When the fabric is dipped in dye the uncovered areas are stained a given color. The finished product is used to make garments, given as gifts, and offered during rituals, such as for tedak siten, a ceremony that celebrates when a child touches the earth for the first time.

If you start off north, go north, don’t turn east, west, or south.

Emerald of the Equator Collection

When designing the Solana Indonesia Collection, we aimed to capture the feeling of our experience traveling around the islands of Java and Bali. We selected aspects of the culture that struck us most and tried to reflect on this spirit and uniqueness in our designs. Our goal with each shoe was to evoke the breadth of feeling we had on our journey. With each design, we aimed to give the feeling of serenity and peace, calmness and vitality.
