FAQs

General

Thando means love in Xhosa and is also our co-founder's, Taffi's, nickname (her South African girlfriends gave her this name during her summer internship in Johannesburg). Thando's is a lifestyle brand that provides a platform to showcase African inspired creativity while positively impacting the communities the designs come from. Read our story to find out more.

 

There are 3 ways that your purchase makes an IMPACT! 1) For fabric that we source from Nigeria, we purchase them directly from women in the fabric trade, which is a common way for most unskilled women to earn a living 2) We crowdsource designs from African artists and share a royalty with them from each purchase of shoe utilizing the respective artists art 3) We donate part of our sales proceeds to charitable causes in Africa that inspire the art behind the crowdsourced designs.

 

We'd love to connect with you. You can reach us at info@thandos.com.

 

Product

For the moment yes, but we believe we have a platform that can showcase other product categories. So we'd hate to restrict ourselves and the creativity that our community of artist brings.

 

For the moment no, but based on the various inquiries we've been getting, it is something that we are considering. #watchthisspace

 

Heck yea they are!! Our unique memory foam insole offers full protection to your sole and makes you feel like you're walking on a cloud. Our outsoles are also designed to be durable enough for city streets.

 

If you are a half size, we recommend that you round up to the nearest whole size e.g. if you wear a size 7.5, you should order a size 8 in our shoes. Similarly we recommend that your order a full size up if you are a regular whole size and have a medium or wide width foot. If you have a narrow foot and are a regular whole size, we recommend your order that size.

If you still have further sizing questions, please contact us at info@thandos.com

 

Yes, our shoes do give after a few wears. We liken them to a t-shirt because they mold to your foot's unique shape giving you the best fit.

 

You bet!, just follow the following instructions:

  • Use cold water and a little detergent
  • Put the washing machine on a delicate cycle
  • Air dry the shoes and DO NOT put them in the dryer

 

 

Unfortunately, if a shoe is sold out, you're pretty much out of luck because we only make limited quantities per style and do not re-release deisngs because we want all members of #teamthandos to feel like they are getting something special. So if you see something you like, we HIGHLY encourage you to get it
