For every $20 you spend, we collect and up-cycle 146 pounds of ocean trash.

Ocean Sole is a Social Enterprise that removes trash from the oceans, coastlines and makes art to support marine conservation, whilst creating employment opportunities in high-impact areas.

ABOUT US

Our Story

We are a social enterprise, that upcycles washed up flip-flops found along the beaches and waterways in Kenya. Inspired by the toys children were making out of the flip-flop debris, Julie Church, the Ocean Sole Founder, encouraged their mothers to collect, wash, and cut the discarded flip-flops into colourful products to sell at local Kenyan Markets as another means of income for their families.

Purchase our flip-flop art and help make an impact!

    What we do

    Our process is manual not machine. Each piece is made with
    care and love, the story of each product begins as a flip-flop
    on someones feet, then its thrown out and ends up in
    the ocean.

    We collect it, clean it, compress it and then carve it into beautiful art to be revived again with love. Through the process, oceans are cleaned, jobs are provided, masterpieces are made, and in the end, you get something truly special and unique.
