The ninety artisans employed by Ocean Sole create unique, colorful works of art from upcycled materials. Usually in the shape of African animals. Customization is also possible. The most important component of the artworks is the most worn footwear in the world: flip flops. Unfortunately, discarded flip flops often end up in nature. Also along the rivers and on the beaches of Kenya. The works of Ocean Sole draw attention to the plastic soup and provide a solution for cleaning it up. More than 2,000 slippers are processed in Ocean Sole's Masterpieces and business giveaways. → Ashanti Design Nic&Mic, in collaboration with Ashanti Design, makes fashionable, durable and very comfortable design products of remnants from the fashion industry. Think of bean bags, pillows, bags and face masks. The cotton is woven by hand by people who have a loom at home. The fabric is then processed in the workshop into an end product. The filling of the beanbags is produced in the Netherlands and is made from biodegradable plastic-free BioFoam pearls. This makes the beanbag 100% circular. A unique product, which Nic&Mic represents throughout Europe. More information: www.nicmic.nl
