Aspiga Travel Style Catalogue

Aspiga is a British ethical fashion brand founded in 2006 by Lucy Macnamara after she discovered the artistry of hand-beaded Kenyan sandals on a trip to Africa in 2005. Every item in the Aspiga range is handcrafted using traditional methods by small artisan community teams in Kenya and India, not factories, ensuring each piece is truly unique and directly supports the livelihoods of the makers.

Ethically Sourced Clothing and Accessories

Aspiga works in direct partnership with artisan communities across Kenya and India, guaranteeing fair wages, safe working conditions, and respectful practices. The brand uses organic cotton, natural fibres, recycled fabrics, and eco-friendly dyes throughout its collections. This commitment earned Aspiga B Corp certification in 2022, reflecting a rigorous standard of social and environmental responsibility. Purchasing from Aspiga means your money supports community education, infrastructure, and entrepreneurial opportunities in the regions where the products are made.

Inspired by Africa and India

The Aspiga aesthetic draws directly from the colour, craft, and culture of Africa and India. The range spans handmade leather sandals adorned with traditional beadwork, colourful dresses and beachwear, wool jackets, belts, and accessories. The brand launched its first collection of sandals and belts at Top Drawer in London in 2006, where pieces were taken up by 40 stockists including Fenwick of Bond Street. Clothing for women and men followed in 2015, all made from natural and organic materials.

A Range for Every Season

From warm-weather beachwear and lightweight dresses to cosy wool jackets and year-round accessories, the Aspiga catalogue offered something for every season. Handmade leather sandals in a variety of styles sat alongside colourful scarves, belts, and jewellery, all carrying the hallmark of individual craftsmanship. Registering with Aspiga allowed customers to stay informed about new arrivals, seasonal sales, and promotions across the full range.
