Sustainable shoe brand Pikolinos has teamed up with nonprofit organization ADCAM (adcam.es), which supports cooperatives in developing countries, on a line of hand-embroidered leather accessories ($99–$225) embroidered in the Maasai communities of Kenya and Tanzania. The bilevel store is part shop and part art exhibit, featuring women’s beaded bags ($225), wooden sandals ($99–$225), peep-toe wedges ($145–$160) and vegetable-tanned ankle boots ($170). Men will find leather flip-flops ($145), suede lace-up boots ($160) and leather slip-ons ($160–$175). After shopping, take a sensorial journey through the Maasai culture and the shoemaking craft by visiting the downstairs Maasai Lab, which features a video installation of women beading.
