About the brand
AMANU is a luxury accessories brand founded in 2018 by South African stylist Anita Patrickson, initially launching as a custom sandal boutique in West Hollywood. The brand reflects Patrickson's childhood growing up on a conservation farm in Africa, where a profound connection with the earth shaped her aesthetic philosophy. AMANU creates handmade sandals, belts, and bags using sustainable practices - cutting only what's needed, using brass tacks instead of glue, and maintaining plastic-free stores. The brand partners with artisans in Kenya, Cape Town, and Los Angeles, emphasizing human connection and traditional craftsmanship. Through the AMANU Academy, the company empowers Kenyan artisans in Kibera with business education and skills development. Known for its minimalist aesthetic and timeless designs, AMANU transcends trends by focusing on quality, sustainability, and honoring African heritage. Each piece is intentionally crafted to last for years, embodying the brand's core values of using only what we need while being resourceful and consciously honoring tradition.
