Ankalia: Perth’s Online Destination for Luxury, Limited-Edition Sandals
In a world of fast fashion and mass production, Ankalia stands apart as a celebration of craftsmanship, slow-made luxury and true individuality. Based in Perth, Western Australia and adored across Australia and all over the world, Ankalia is an online boutique specialising in limited-edition Italian leather sandals—each pair designed with intention and handcrafted with love. https://ankalia.com/collections/ankalia-sandals
The Vision of Founder & Creative Director, Cheryl Botha
At the heart of Ankalia is Founder and Creative Director, Cheryl Botha, whose journey into sandal artistry began far from Perth—deep in southern Italy on the Amalfi coast, where she trained under a traditional “Papa” sandal artisan. There, she learned the precise, soulful techniques passed down through generations: choosing only the finest Tuscan leathers, and crafting shoes that are as comfortable as they are beautiful. Cheryl brought this old-world expertise home, infusing it with her own modern Australian aesthetic to create a sandal label unlike any other.
Luxury Italian Leather, Swarovski Crystals & Small-Batch Craftsmanship
Ankalia sandals are synonymous with refined luxury. Each design is made from premium Italian leather sourced from Tuscany, celebrated for its breathability, softness and long-lasting comfort. Many styles are hand-embellished with genuine Swarovski crystals, adding a touch of sparkling sophistication for women who appreciate wearable luxury.
But what truly sets Ankalia apart is its commitment to small-batch production. Every design is released in limited quantities—meaning once a style sells out, it’s gone. This keeps each pair unique, exclusive, and treasured by those lucky enough to secure them. https://ankalia.com/collections/ankalia-sandals
Designed for Comfort, Confidence & Everyday Glamour
Whether you prefer a chic, understated silhouette or a statement crystal embellishment, Ankalia offers a sandal for every moment. Each pair is crafted with both style and comfort in mind, with a choice of:
- Flat sole for effortless everyday wear
- 2cm low heel for those who want just that little bit of elevation
This versatility makes Ankalia sandals perfect for beachside weddings, luxury summer holidays, evenings out, or simply elevating everyday outfits with elegant ease.
A Size Range for More Women
Ankalia proudly offers a generous size range from Italian sizes 35–43, equivalent to Australian 4–12. Cheryl’s mission is to ensure more women can experience beautifully crafted footwear that fits well, feels luxurious, and lasts for years.
A Perth Brand Loved Nationwide
Though Ankalia is proudly based in Perth, its appeal extends throughout Australia and worldwide. With a strong online presence and fast, caring service, Ankalia has become a go-to for women seeking unique, handcrafted sandals that blend European craftsmanship with Australian coastal elegance.
