S4Ep11| SHAPING FASHION THROUGH MUSIC with Gutta Soles founder Kromanteng part 2

AKADi Magazine

Gutta Soles' name is inspired by Ghana's open gutters and the idea that although they may be filled with rubbish, there is treasure to be found.
For founder Kromanteng, there is added symbolism in that Ghana's gutters are open - not closed, which means there is an opportunity for everyone to pull themselves out of their current situation.
The Gutta Soles brand has its operations in Accra, Ghana. The shoes are made from car tyres, ntuma (cloth), organic cotton and rubber. I spoke to founder Kromanteng about his brand.
