Lalesso

Lalesso is the internationally sought after African baby of Olivia Kennaway & Alice Heusser. Inspired by the traditional 'lesso' attire of the local women of Kenya, Lalesso is an "exclusively summer fashion" brand of vibrant colour & African energy.

Manufactured in Kenya by Lalesso instigated SOKO, "the first globally recognised eco and ethical clothing production unit in East Africa", Lalesso also tries to involve the local Kenyan community by employing "beach boys" to hand carve buttons from decaying coconuts, 'The Crochet Sisters', a group of nuns, to crochet by hand & local Masaai tradesmen to bead their swing tag bracelets. "Among other various temporary and permanent projects Lalesso strives to boost the income and livelihoods of these disadvantaged citizens". Even more reason to buy & wear the amazing Lalesso! Have a look at their Summer 2011 collection.










Have a look at their website for all the worldwide places to shop Lalesso. They've also collaborated with Woolworths for Summer 2010.
