A quote from Mandy Sutcliffe, Creative Director & Founder:

‘The story of Belle & Boo began with a moment of creativity, a huge amount of ambition and, of course, my pencil and sketch book. My passion has always been to draw children and capture those moments of fun and freedom that are the foundation for a happy childhood. This passion became my everyday pastime after setting up Belle & Boo with my co-founders Kate and Patrick Shafe.

As a parent of young children, I too am faced with the daily challenge of trying to give my children the freedom to grow, develop and indulge their imaginations, whilst competing with the digital age and a faster paced childhood than the one I remember. There are so many more things to do and places to go, giving them little time to just be or to let their imaginations run free. I only hope that our simple products can help create an environment in which our children can play freely, or at the very least remind us why this is so important’.

LAIDBACK LONDON

Stylish, practical & Comfortable, Laidback London offers a fabulous selection of handmade leather Sandals, Flipflops & Bags that have been inspired by colourful cultures & handcrafted by skilled African artisans.

The company was born out of a desire to go back to basics. To make products the old fashioned way - by hand, using traditional techniques. To work with the imperfections to create naturally unique and individual products. Timeless pieces that are made to last, that wear better with age. 

Having moved to London in 1997, the label’s founder wanted to bring back a part of the laid-back lifestyle he had experienced growing up on the coastal town of Mombasa to the big city. The first pair of sandals were sold from a market stall on Portobello Road in the summer of 2002.

Laidback London has established an infrastructure that creates jobs, provides sustainable incomes for the workers and preserves their skills and craftsmanship. The work they do has a positive social and economic impact- empowering local communities,  giving hope and providing opportunities through education for future generations.

Keeping the processes hand made has enabled the company to build the work force and create maximum employment. The leather, which is sourced from a local, family owned tannery in Africa is hand dyed and sundried before being cut by hand. The sandal uppers are then hand embellished with tiny colourful beads using a technique that symbolises the traditions of the various local tribes. Different to any other, this painstaking method of sewing every fourth bead directly onto the leather can take one person up to half a day to embellish just two pairs of sandals.The uppers are then hand embellished with tiny colourful beads using a technique, which symbolises the traditions of the various local tribes.
