We Believe & Sustainability.
Crafts.
Because, above all, we are makers — creating with passion, precision, and purpose. At Kinamania, we work hand in hand with skilled artisans who craft each pair of shoes using traditional techniques passed down through generations — a process rooted in time, care, and know-how, not mass production. We believe in the social and economic value of craftsmanship: supporting local makers, preserving heritage skills, and creating work that’s fair, meaningful, and rooted in respect. True craftsmanship tells stories, preserves traditions, and brings soulful pieces to life to enrich our everyday moments.
Solidarity.
After the August 2020 explosion in Beirut, we launched the Soft Line — a collection handmade in Lebanon to support local artisans. Each pair is a gesture of resilience, blending comfort, tradition, and solidarity. Leathers and outsoles are locally sourced.
Smart Design.
Because shoes are the unsung heroes of our days.
With expertise in orthopedic shoemaking, we celebrate the details that make them exceptional - comfort, elegance, movement - for your everydays.
Leather.
Because leather lasts — in time, in comfort, and in beauty. Leather is naturally breathable, keeping your feet comfortable and healthy. Leather is durable, meaning fewer replacements and a smaller environmental footprint. Leather is beautiful as it ages, developing a unique patina over time.
We work with farm animal leather hides treated in certified tanneries and outsoles made-to-order for our productions to minimise waste. We source our materials directly from the country of production (Portugal/Lebanon) and employ intelligent shipping practices, optimizing packaging to minimize both carbon emissions and costs for our customers. Our leather shoes are thoughtfully crafted and built to last, offering durability that stands the test of time.
“There is no established hierarchy of sustainability for materials in the fashion industry, and very limited comparable data (eg Life Cycle Analysis). What is clear is that every single material on the market today has some sort of trade off and impact on the planet and a mixture of preferred materials is needed going forward.”
We’re committed to a sustainable future, continuously exploring processes to reduce our carbon impact. Like our designs, our sustainability efforts are ever-evolving.
Because, just like our designs, our commitment to a sustainable future is ever-evolving.
Color.
Because color has the power to transform — it elevates moods, reflects individuality, and makes every moment more vibrant.
Self-Care.
Because choosing comfort is choosing yourself. We design shoes that support every step, because self-care starts from the ground up. Slipping into beautifully crafted, comfortable shoes is a quiet act of self-love. You deserve to feel good, every day.
Community & Impact.
We believe making by hand connects people. Through workshops and creative experiences, we share the joy of craft and pass on know-how. We support a slower, more thoughtful way of consuming — one story, one bag, one pair, one gesture at a time.
Music.
“Music is the closest thing humanity has to magic” Max Richter.
Music inspires movement, emotion, and self-expression — just like our shoes. Each style in our collection carries the name of a musician. Our Atelier Line pays tribute to legendary icons of the past, while the Soft Line celebrates contemporary artists.
