    Former designer and production director to the Johnny FARAH House of leather accessories - between Beirut & NY - Kristina ZOUEIN, KINAMANIA founder, spent countless hours in artisans’ workshops. As a self-taught designer, this was a very formative experience.

    In 2015 and with more than 10 years experience, she decides to create KINAMANIA, a slow fashion brand of accessories with a balanced mix of humility, sobriety and dare.

    Of Canadian-Lebanese origins, Kristina lived most of her life in Beirut, until she met her partner and moved to Brussels a few years ago. She designs the shoe and bag lines in her Brussels studio, and when possible gives group leather workshops.

    Fun facts to know :)

    +++ It is through a failed romance with a Spaniard that Kristina discovered the abarca sandal style. This traditional Spanish sandal was the trigger to her shoe brand.

    +++ KinaMania is a brand name with roots in 'menorquina', the alternative name for the abarca sandal which was originally handmade on the island of Menorca in the Baleares. The mania for Kinas is born from menorquina mania!

    +++ The shoes have singer name and the subtitles refer to uplifting songs that align to the Craft Your Day tagline.

    +++ The tag line says CRAFT YOUR DAY with two dashes. The two dashes symbolise the craftsmanship and hand-stitched design signature of the Kinamania fine footwear atelier.

    They talk about Kinamania :)
