about our sandals
The FUNKYFAIN sandals are made on a beautiful Greek island, in a workshop founded in 1986 by an engineer who initially worked at a shoe factory. Later, he started his own small company, now working alongside his two sons. This is the story of a beautiful family and a tradition that blends with quality and professionalism at the highest level. It may seem strange in a world focused on sales volumes and profit margins, but for us, it’s very important that each of our customers is as satisfied as possible with the product experience and the purchase process.
Yes, funky Lady, we’re talking about you! About the one who wants more than just ordinary mass-produced sandals. It’s about your experience – starting from the moment you lay eyes on them, to the moment you wear them and feel that they are exactly what you needed.
The leather used for the sandals comes from Africa, where it is purchased in a fairly raw form, then prepared for production directly in the workshop in Greece. And when we say prepared, it’s important to mention that the leather is not treated chemically. It’s the only workshop in Greece that uses untreated natural leather. Yes, you read that right! This is the only workshop in Greece that uses untreated natural leather. This means that each pair is unique, with its own texture and small imperfections that make it… perfect.
The sandals are all handcrafted. One pair is made in about an hour, depending on the complexity of the design.
And so, from a beautiful Greek island, through the hands of people who love what they do, the FUNKYFAIN sandals reach you. They are not just sandals – they are a combination of craftsmanship, tradition, and a touch of funky madness. And isn’t that what makes them absolutely wonderful?

PRODUCT MAINTENANCE
– Because the leather we use is not chemically treated, the color migration effect may occur, resulting in skin coloring, amplified by sweating and everyone’s pH. This is not considered to be a manufacturing defect. It usually happens with the colored leather and also with the nubuck leather – mainly with the black nubuck. If it still happens after the first couple of times you wear the sandals, you can use the following trick: apply hairspray on the innerside of the leather. Not too much though, and carefully – only on the inside! To make it easier for you, you can use a cleansing disk, for example, or directly with your fingers.
– The nude leather can darken over time.
– To keep the sandals as smooth as possible for a long time, we do not recommend washing them either manually or automatically, but wiping them with a soft, clean, dry cloth, not a brush.
– Do not use water as stains may remain!
– We recommend wearing natural leather sandals only in dry time!
– All types of leather we use, but especially the metallic leather – gold, silver, bronze, should be protected from direct contact with organic solvents (alcohol, acetone etc.).
– The footwear is not a fully impermeable product. So, we recommend wearing it in dry time. For all leather products, prolonged contact with water is prohibited. In this case, the warranty loses its validity.
– If the sandals change their hue touching water, slow drying is recommended (do not wipe with a cloth or other object because it remains stained). Try to dry the sandals naturally, at room temperature.
– Do not store sandals near sources of heat or moisture!
– All of our sandals are handmade, which means they can show color differences or other small imperfections, that are not manufacturing defects.
