More about Laidback London footwear

Laidback London is a British footwear brand with a global soul, creating beautifully handcrafted footwear that celebrates slow fashion and enduring style.

Each pair of Laidback London shoes is made using traditional techniques by skilled artisans in Mombasa, Kenya, where locally sourced leather is hand-dyed, sun-dried and stitched to perfection. The result is footwear that feels effortlessly relaxed yet luxuriously refined — from soft leather sandals and woven flats to sleek ankle boots designed to age beautifully with wear.

Founded in the early 2000s, the Laidback London brand was born from a desire to connect London’s contemporary spirit with authentic craftsmanship and sustainable production. Rooted in integrity, creativity and community, Laidback London offers timeless pieces that combine comfort, purpose and understated elegance — made slowly, to be worn for years to come.
