The Story of The Soft Line

The Kinamania Soft Line - aka The 961 Beirut Collection - is a shoe line handcrafted by a wonderful Lebanese artisan called Naji. The uniqueness of those styles is that they are made to fit like a second skin with quality leather uppers and rubber outsoles.

This line was launched after the dramatic August 4, 2020 Beirut explosion. 

"Since the explosion, Lebanon, has been facing a mega-crisis ; with the 961 project, my aim is, in my own modest way, to give a financial stability to one, two, three Lebanese artisans and their families." says Kristina, Kinamania founder.

Craftsmanship

Kristina's appreciation of makers and cultural heritage combined with Lebanon's rich history of handmade craftsworks (dating back to the Phoenicians) pushed her to create a line of footwear handmade in Lebanon.

"I believe in people and it is only when I met a talented and soulful artisan named Naji that I decided to launch the project."

The idea behind this 961 project is to put Naji and his team's exceptional knowledge and skills in the spotlight. 961 stands for the country code of Lebanon.

The Beirut Explosion 2020

On August 4, 2020, one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history pulverized the port of Beirut and damaged over half the city.

Since then, Lebanon, has been facing three mega-crises all at once: a financial crisis, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the aftermath of the port blast.

The population is experiencing anger, despair and anxiety. The UN estimates that 78 percent of the Lebanese lives below the poverty line.

A connection for life

Kristina was born and raised in Lebanon, and moved to Brussels in 2015.

"The love I have for Lebanon is hard to describe, it's a connection for life. I couldn't say it better than both of those articles combined :

Diaspora. À toi qui rentres malgré tout au Liban cet été by Gilles Khoury

Lettre ouverte aux jeunes du Liban by Nada NASSAR-CHAOUL

Diaries Reportages

"I chose to introduce The Soft Line - aka The 961 Beirut Collection - with a series of six mini-reportages. The idea is take you on the project's journey, from idea to project launch.

Hop on! And if you'd like to share a few words, your thoughts, whatever comes to your mind, email, Facebook, Instagram ... all the means of communication are here!" Kristina
