Combining African local arts & crafts with world-class technology

Agape sandals are manufactured in the Agape factory, on our beautiful farm in Currys Post, Kwa-Zulu Natal.  Uppers are uniquely hand stitched and beaded using indigenous techniques, which have been perfected by the African people over generations; while soles are injection moulded, using advanced world class technology and materials at our footwear component factory, S A Tool & Die, in the Imbali Township in nearby Pietermaritzburg.  

S A Tool & Die are the leading supplier of components to the South African footwear industry.  Agape brings employment to a large number of people from the local community - having relocated our factory into the local community greatly reduces their time away from their families.  Through training and empowerment, Agape is making a difference to many previously disadvantaged families. 

In South Africa and surrounding countries Namibia and Botswana, Agape supply footwear to all the major tourist destinations (approximately 250 retail outlets), and export their footwear internationally to the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Spain and Greece, and it is our aim to continue to build the first international brand of footwear from Africa.
