Sand By Saya’s sandals combine style, durability, and easy maintenance, ideal for commuting, shopping, or relaxing at home. Made with a vintage sewing machine for unique stitching, they are non-toxic, energy-efficient, and recyclable. We are committed to the environment, with a portion of our sales supporting Greenpeace.org.
As a sustainable fashion brand, we focus on collaborating with local artisans and sourcing scraps from nearby factories for creative upcycling. We also educate local fashion students to foster community growth. Since 2009, our custom-made sandals have exemplified our commitment to blending style with sustainability. We’re proud to advance toward a more conscious and responsible fashion future.
Featured by Fox 5 as a "Must-have for a resort getaway," our thong-strap sandals blend style and functionality effortlessly. Stylish, durable, and easy to clean, they cater to both fashion-forward shoppers and practical commuters. Affordable luxury with non-toxic, recyclable, and energy-efficient qualities, Sand By Saya is where fashion meets conscience.
In our upcoming 2025 collection, we're excited to unveil a groundbreaking waterproof espadrille made from EVA and vegan leather. Unlike traditional espadrilles with stiffening rope when wet, our design stays soft, keeping your feet dry and comfortable in any weather. This is truly a design breakthrough!
This lightweight sandal is perfect for travel, poolside lounging, romantic walks, and enduring tropical downpours. Handmade in our NYC studio using a vintage sewing machine, each pair reflects our commitment to quality. We specialize in embroidery, adding high-end crystals and gems curated by Saya herself. More than just footwear, it’s a crafted experience of style, innovation, and comfort.
