MAISON KITSUNÉ X INDOSOLE
A Pair of Flip Flops on the Road to Sustainability River Remediation Programs

French-Japanese style house Maison Kitsuné has teamed up with Indonesia's renowned sustainable footwear brand Indosole to launch a limited edition capsule collection of recycled materials for a new sandal design. The collaboration is based on a shared vision of "thoughtful design", fusing Parisian sophistication with Indonesian craftsmanship, translating a commitment to the environment into a real and wearable everyday experience.

The concept at the heart of this collaboration is simple, yet extremely meaningful: turning waste into value. Founded in Indonesia, Indosole has a longstanding commitment to recycling and turning waste materials into durable, high-quality shoe soles in response to persistent environmental issues in the country.

This project goes beyond material innovation; through the "RIVERSOLE" initiative launched in collaboration with the Bali-based environmental organization Sungai Watch, it transforms discarded flip-flops recovered from Indonesian rivers into brand-new footwear, putting true circular design into practice. This is more than just a pair of sandals; it is a story of environmental regeneration that connects local ecology, community, and the spirit of craftsmanship.

For Maison Kitsuné, this collaboration also represents a natural extension of the brand’s commitment to sustainability—moving beyond mere slogans to truly integrating these values into product design. The entire collection captures a lifestyle that bridges the urban and the natural, Paris and Bali, perfectly blending conscious choices with effortless elegance.

Series Highlights

Inspired by the concept of “slow summer living,” the Maison Kitsuné x Indosole collaboration reinterprets everyday sandals through a minimalist yet refined design language. The soles are crafted from recycled materials with a terrazzo-like texture, creating a subtle yet layered visual effect; the overall color palette features soft, sun-kissed tones that echo natural landscapes and a laid-back atmosphere.

The EASY LIVING collection features versatile footwear designed for everyday life, striking a balance between comfort, durability, and minimalist design. The contoured design that hugs the arch of the foot takes the comfort of flip-flops to a whole new level. Available in four colorways—Charcoal Black, Marble White, Peach Brown, and Truffle Gray—the collection embodies a relaxed, cross-cultural lifestyle. Sizes for both men and women are available, each priced at NT$3,100.

The entire collection features shoes that are waterproof, vegan, and suitable for everyday wear, with Maison Kitsuné’s iconic fox motif subtly incorporated throughout, continuing the brand’s signature visual identity.

This collaboration also reflects the shared philosophy of both parties: "Less is more, greater durability, and a design that stands the test of time."

Shared Philosophy: Design That Goes Beyond Aesthetics

This is more than just a collaboration; it represents both parties’ shared belief in the value of the product—that design should not be limited to mere aesthetics, but should carry deeper meaning. By combining Indosole’s environmental innovation with Maison Kitsuné’s cultural and design perspective, this capsule collection redefines the face of contemporary sustainable fashion: understated, practical, and timeless.
