Ocean Sole, in the USA, is based in Ponte Vedra, Florida.
They have a Studio/shop and distribution warehouse there, so you can go and see all of their wonderful products, but if you own a retail outlet, you can also order in larger quantities at wholesale prices.
So… what is Ocean Sole? Who are they?
Let me start with some simple facts:
- They are a charity.
- The product is made in Kenya, by Kenyan people that might otherwise have no job or income.
- They recover Flip-Flops, Styrofoam and wire from the beaches in Kenya.
- They turn that waste recovered from the ocean into artistic creations (mostly animals)
- They employ about 200 Kenyans
- The income that those 200 Kenyans receive feeds and shelters about 2,000 people (10 people per pay check)
