This is my 3rd pair of sheepskin mules. I wear them until they are absolutely finished. It was quite an eye opener to lay the new ones beside the old ones
Product Description
Plakkie is Seriously South African — and the Maties is their first celebration of an inland destination: the historic university town of Stellenbosch. 'Matie' is a nickname for students at Stellenbosch University, derived from the Afrikaans word maat — meaning mate or friend. It's a name that carries decades of camaraderie, late nights, and the particular pride of belonging to one of South Africa's most celebrated institutions — not unlike a certain few universities closer to home.
A purchase with purpose: 5% of all Matie Plakkie sales are donated to Bridge the Gap, Stellenbosch University's longstanding initiative providing food security and financial aid to students in need.
- Tribute to Stellenbosch University
- 5% of sales support the Bridge the Gap initiative
- Lightweight and comfortable mens flip flop
- Perfect for campus, beach, or summer days
- Made in South Africa
Plakkie is 'The Sunshine Brand' — a flip-flop born from South Africa's iconic beach and coastal culture. Each style is named after a beloved South African spot, from Camps Bay and Clifton on the Cape to Coffee Bay and Mabibi on the Wild Coast, bringing a little South African sunshine to every step. The collection includes unisex, ladies', and kids' styles in vibrant colourful patterns, with Springbok pride designs and special editions supporting the NSRI. Comfortable, colourful, and unmistakably South African.
