Giveh – Handwoven Breathable Shoes with Embroidered Detail

A modern take on a centuries-old Iranian design, these handwoven giveh (pronounced gee-veh) are crafted using kenaf fibre—a naturally sustainable plant material known for its strength, breathability, and eco-conscious appeal. The lightweight upper is paired with a sturdy jute sole, while the embroidered figure adds a playful, personal touch.

Rooted in heritage, yet designed to walk with you today, these artisan shoes are made by skilled makers in western Iran using techniques passed down through generations.
