When we started Sandos, we wanted more than just another flip flop. We wanted to create something that felt good to wear, looked great, and was made with care — from the ground up.

That journey begins in Sri Lanka, the home of natural rubber. Rubber is a renewable resource, tapped directly from the tree in much the same way as maple syrup. Small cuts are made in the bark, and the tree slowly releases a milky liquid latex. This process doesn’t harm the tree — it continues to grow and produce latex for years to come.

Once tapped, the latex is collected and processed into sheets of natural rubber. Before it becomes your Sandos, it looks completely different: soft, raw, and creamy in colour. From there, it’s carefully shaped and crafted by hand in our factory. Every pair is cut, moulded, and finished with the kind of attention that machines alone can’t deliver.

For us, showing this process is important — it’s a reminder that your Sandos aren’t just another fast-fashion summer throwaway. They’re made from a natural, responsibly sourced material, and carefully hand-finished by skilled craftspeople.

The result? Flip flops that feel good, look good, and carry a story worth telling - from tree to toe.
