Kami-waraji, the world's first cardboard sandals,
made in Japan.
Waraji are traditional Japanese sandals made with straw that have been worn for ages. They were both a necessity for long journeys and commonly-worn footwear in the past. In Japanese, the first character used in the word waraji refers directly to the straw used in the item. Kami-waraji are both an evolution and an homage to classic waraji, maintaining their eco-friendly image since they are made completely out of cardboard.
Cardboard is the ultimate eco-material. Currently, 100% recyclable cardboard is used everywhere, especially in the distribution industry. With a more than 95% recycle rate in Japan, cardboard is the leader of the ecology movement.
